There doesn't seem to be a classical Latin word for "stirrup." The Medieval term appears variously as stapia, stapisand stapes. The last of these, stapes, is the scientific name for the small stirrup-shaped bone found in the middle ear. (The other two also have Latin names: incus, the anvil, and malleus, the hammer.)
The stirrup bone is named such because of the way it looks very similar to the stirrup used in horseback riding.
