It relates to original language the word was derived from.

English has borrowed words from dozens of languages, hence the wide range of perceived "quirks" like this one.

The plural is formed based on the language or origin. The words box and ox have their origins in different languages. We get box from Greek by way of Latin. Ox is an Old and Middle English word.
