"Stool", as applied to human waste, has the same word origin as when applied to a small seat with no back or arms. The word was eventually applied to the early toilet and, by extension, to the waste. In other words, Medieval people first called their toilets "stools", then, to avoid offense, they used their word for toilet to refer to feces.

Because, like a stool, there are many ways and situations in which you can sit on one.

Apparently, some used to refer to the toilet as a stool as a euphemism to try to be polite. So by extension, fecal matter became known by the name given to the place where people defecate.
