As I understand it, the term "double stop" comes from string players (symphonic string instruments like violin, cello, etc. for sure, maybe guitar too), and refers to fingering or "stopping" two notes at once (for example, a major or minor 3rd) on different strings. When applied to instruments other than stringed instruments, the term generally means a 2-note chord.
If someone who's studied the topic can confirm or correct this, please do.
