from From Latin testiculus, a diminutive of testis, meaning 'witness.' The popular story is that it refers to testifying to one's virility — and the connection to legal 'witness' and 'testimony' likely is real, though the exact logic ancient Romans had in mind (witness to manhood, witness paired with its fellow witness) is debated rather than certain. Testis itself may ultimately trace to a root meaning 'third' — a third party standing by to witness — though that deeper root is reconstructed, not documented.
