Loser to scissors, winner over rock (5)

I believe the answer is:

paper

(Other definitions for paper that I've seen before include "Thin material used for writing, wrapping etc" , "It's made from wood pulp generally" , "daily read?" , "First wedding anniversary" , "Treatise" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
