"Pairing" is synonomous with "trip".
I assume the name came from the fact that in the old days you were generally paired with one other crew member for the trip (or the whole month more likely).
Today you might have pilots come and go from the trip, due to vacation, training, partial drops/trades, reserve duty, etc. But at most airlines you'll fly most trips with one other pilot.
