I've always wondered why bra is singular and panties are plural?

Driveways to big houses and estates are not for parking on, you would drive up to the house and park in the car park or your horse and carriage. I think we just carried on using that name, and it made people feel that their house was posher if it had a drive way.
As for the park way i have no idea.
BTW
Bra is singular cause its short for brassiere.
Panties is plural because it is short for pantaloons (really big old fashioned knickers people wore in victorian times)

Parkways lead to a state park ... thats why its called a parkway.. not because you park on it.

In the UK you drive on a road and park in your garage.
