text: The malleus gets its name from Latin malleus, meaning "hammer", the Incus gets its name from Latin Incus meaning "anvil" from incudere meaning "to forge with a hammer", and the Stapes gets its name from Modern Latin "stirrup," probably an alteration of Late Latin Stapia related to stare "to stand" and pedem, a accusative of pes "foot", so called because the bone is shaped like a stirrup - this was an invented Modern Latin word for "stirrup," for which there was no classical Latin word, as the ancients did not use stirrups.
