Always wondered the same. Longer worded its floppy diskette. Not sure if it would ever be
discette in eu? Alternatively discoteque (*sp) I believe is music or cd store in spanish.
I'm not sure what disc (in compact disc) is short for if anything.

I seem to recall that "Diskette" was a trademarked term at one point. I
probably should check the trademark database to find out if that was
true and when it was abandoned. But I do have 8" floppies in my
collection that carry the "Diskette" branding.
