People who have trouble understanding monads usually don't have any problem with callbacks. Because the computational context "some as usual, except in the near future" is familiar to them.
Great. But using >>= in Haskell is still more mysterious than using .then in JS, or what do you feel unsure about?

What I don't get is which part the word monad refers to

Maybe it is difficult to see it as a thing because it is more like a design pattern, except fully incarnated (into a type constructer, two generic functions and three laws). The monad design pattern is about sequencing computations that exist in some computational context.
