A bullshit definition used by British people. This form of the the conjugation "mathematics" takes advantage of the rule of singular and plural conjugations. However the word is a conjunction of ab(remove) + scindere (tear). Literally then, to tear or cut apart, as the x-axis does to the coordinate plane. The main root is closely related to the Latin root from which we get the word scissor. The mathematical use of the term was apparently coined by Leibniz around 1855. In addition, this form of the word math(s) creates a paradox against the possessive rule of grammar.
