Because a "pantaloon" is one leg of "pantaloons," and "pants" is an abbreviation of "pantaloons." So really, "pants" is plural of "pant," of which pants have two - a left pant and a right pant.

Gray Beard Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Is biweekly twice a week, or every other week? When you dust, are you adding dust or removing dust? Why is the entire bread part of a pizza the crust, but with bread the crust is just the outer part? When you make coffee, you use ground coffee and are left with coffee grounds. In your car, having a lot of gas is good, but in shoutbox conversations, it seems to be bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
