i can answer the last one with something i learned the other week: the reason it’s “a pair of pants”, is that they used to consist of only the leg bits. you’d put on underwear, then leggy bits, then your jacket, then you’d tie the legs to the jacket.

that they used to consist of only the leg bits

Now I’m more confused. Are you saying they used to be, like, leg sleeves? Oh, and that’s what you would need to tie them to your shirt…man that’s weird…but I guess it’d be easier to weave 2 cylinders without the crotch bits.
