Why is one pant called a "pair" of pants? Same goes for shorts and underwear. Really though, I am wearing one garment on my upper body and one on my lower body but somehow I'm wearing a shirt and a "pair" of pants. Doesn't make any sense. Please answer me Traveller, this has been bothering me for years.

I'm guessing when u say a pair it is referring to the individual part the covers the one leg

Yes, the pant leg. One pant includes a pair of pant legs but the pant assembly is still one pant. I am now dubious of your claims to be the Traveller as I am fairly sure a being that could terraform Mars and Venus to be able to support life wouldn't have started their reply with "I'm guessing". That same being likely would have responded "you're drunk, get off the Internets."
