Pants, short for pantaloons from the French pantalons. For some reason the French put an S on the end of every other word. These words sound plural when borrowed into English. 'A pair of' creates a grammatical bridge between the singular noun and its plural sounding spelling. Or something. TLDR blame the French.

I don’t really get ‘topology’ but I’m standing firm on pants being singular. The leg holes are the only thing that they have in duplicate. I’m calling them ‘a pant’ from now on.
