Quick Google search brought this.
Here
because stairs actually refers to the staircase, which is not the steps themselves but the walls on either side of the steps. The walls are called a staircase in which steps are placed. This has over time been reduced to stairs.
Pretty much explains why :)

I learned the difference in German class from the different words used. I don't think I could have explained it in English as well as Dyna did though.
