It is difficult to say with any precision.Answer 1. Given that birds have to flap their wings to fly, in 'tent' terminology, there is what is called a 'fly', an extra outer layer, or a stand-alone sheet, which flaps about in the wind! In turn it seems that this word was used to describe 'fly-front pants', meaning flap-fronted pants.There were various type of front openings of pants, most now having a vertical opening, which were originally fastened with buttons covered with a flap or fly. In due course the zip was invented, and is commonly used now as an alternative to buttons. The zip may still be covered with a fly or flap, but not necessarily.Before the vertical opening became common, fall-fronted pants were commonly worn, where the flap opened downwards from the top.In both cases, whether the opening was vertical or 'horizontal', the fact that there was always a flap to some extent may have contributed to the adoption of the word 'fly' (short for fly-fronted) to mean the entire front opening of a pair of pants/trousers.Answer 2. Fly can also mean 'quick/quickly'. e.g 'He flew into a rage!' = he got angry very quickly. 'Time flies,' etc. So perhaps the fly opening is a quick opening in a pair of pants, rather than going through the rigmarole of unfastening one's belt and pulling down much of the garment in order, in the case of men, just to urinate.
The word for the fuzz that collects in pants cuffs is called lint.
