"stilus" meaning in Latin

See stilus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈsti.lus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈs̠t̪ɪɫ̪ʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈsti.lus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈst̪iːlus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Probably from Proto-Italic *stiglos (which stimulus and stiva may also be related to), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teyg- (“to be sharp; to sting”) + *-lós. In this case, related to instīgō (“to urge, stimulate, stir up”), Ancient Greek στῐ́ζω (stízō, “to mark with a pointed instrument”), Ancient Greek στῐ́γμᾰ (stígma, “mark, spot”), Proto-Germanic *stikaną (“to stick, stab”). An alternative derivation relates the word to Avestan 𐬯𐬙𐬀𐬉𐬭𐬀 (staēra, “mountaintop”). Not related to Ancient Greek στῦλος (stûlos, “pillar; wooden pole”).
