All the names of Ballet steps are in French. They are usually almost the exact translation. For example plie - to bend. Pointe - to point the foot etc. Some steps are named after what the movement looks like, pas deux - step for two- this is partner work. Jete- to leap. As a ballet student you get familiar with the steps, but dont always know the french meaning.
Ballet as a dance style originated in France, which is why the word "ballet" as well as most of the steps and terminology in ballet are French.
