I believe it is related to 'demi-pile,' a French term for a ballet dance move. The latter probably a 'short' version of the grand-pile.
In dance, "pile" refers to a movement where the dancer bends their knees while keeping their feet flat on the ground. This position is often used as a preparatory step for various movements and helps to create a stronger connection to the floor, enabling better balance and control. The term is derived from the French word "plier," meaning "to bend." It is a fundamental element in ballet and other dance styles that emphasize fluidity and strength.
A plie is an equal bend of both legs.
