Are there many singular things that we name with a plural noun? There are quite a few, including: glasses (spectacles), pincers, pliers, pants, pyjamas, trousers, scissors, shears, tweezers, tongs, trousers . You cannot have one of these, but you can have a pair of them.

trousers, pants, slacks, briefs (underwear), pliers (tool), tweezers (cosmetics). Now, some of these are not necessarily in the plural just because of the s. And they are not always with the s. But I think these are some words you are looking for.
