Forceps are a medical tool, like a pair of tongs or large tweezers. A doctor uses them to pick up, hold, or pull something during an operation. A special kind helps a baby come out at birth. The word looks plural, and we treat it that way: we say “a pair of forceps,” like “a pair of scissors.” It is a hospital word, not a kitchen word. Though actually, it has nothing to do with the English word force, even though the spelling looks close.
