It refers to items that have two matching elements involved somewhere. A pair of trousers has two legs. You wouldn't say a pair of skirts for one skirt for example.

Why do we say pyjamas bottoms, pyjamas just means the trousers in indian. The English language is full of these silly silly things, it just is and it really bugs me.
