"Diskette" was a brand name for floppy disks sold by IBM, and it was extremely common for some foreign languages to copy IBM terminology for computers instead of coming up with its own words. For example, up until 2010s it was very common for older people to refer to any hard drive in Russian as "Winchester", in honor of a specific IBM minicomputer hard drive from the 1970s.
