Before the days of modern tailoring, such garments, whether underwear or outerwear, were indeed made in two parts, one for each leg. The pieces were put on each leg separately and then wrapped and tied or belted at the waist (just like cowboys’ chaps). The plural usage persisted out of habit even after the garments had become physically one piece. However, a shirt was a single piece of cloth, so it was always singular.

Probably because it has 2 leg holes.
something consisting of or regarded as having two parts or pieces joined together: a pair of scissors; a pair of slacks.

I always wondered that about pants.
And its not because you have two legs. You have two arms but it isn't called a pair of shirts. What's the deal?

Because undie doesn't sound right. Why do they call it pants? Because pant doesn't sound right.
