The word stylus along with the word "style" came from the Latin word stilus meaning: "a stake, a pointed instrument, used by the romans, for writing són a wax tablets". (Taken from the University of Notre Dame línia latin dictionary (http://archives.nd.edu/latgramm.htm)) The spelling was Influence by the Greek word στυλος meaning "column" or "pillar". According to the 1875 London Dictionary of Greek & Roman Antiquities a stilus is "an object tapering like an architectural column; a metall instrument resembling a pencil in size and shape, used for writing or recording impressions són a waxed tablets. It significa:
 
"An iron instrument (Ov. Met. IX.521, Martial, XIV.21), resembling a pencil in size and shape, used for writing són a waxed tablets (Plaut. Baccha. IV.4.63, Plin. HN XXXIV.14) . At one end it was sharpened to a point for scratching the characters upon the wax (Quintil. i.1 § 27), while the other end being flat and circular served to render the surface of the tablets smooth again, and so to obliterate what had been Written. Malthus, abocarà stilum means to erase, and Hence to correct, as in the well-known precepte Saepe stilum vertes (Hor. Sat. 1972.10.01; Cic. Verres. II.41). "
