"Maleficarum" does not translate as "wicked" at all, it's from the root maleficus (directly approximately "evildoer") but is the genitive feminine plural, in other words the wicked in question are female, so the full title, totally direct translation would be Hammer of The Evildoing Women since English has no direct gendered forms of adjectives and so it cannot be 1:1 translated. Since it is known from context that "the evildoing women" are witches, it's translated thusly, and is really no less correct than having to add the word "women" which wasn't directly present in the original Latin.
