Morphology

flats = flat (transparent) = flat + s

Regular plural marking of the noun 'flat' (a shoe); the plural form 'flats' directly denotes more than one such shoe or pair.

Etymology

The word flats comes from the adjective flat meaning 'level' or 'even'. They are called flats because the shoe has a flat sole and no high heel, so flats are simple, comfortable shoes without a raised heel.
