The word piano is Italian for soft. The piano used to be called the piano-forte because it was a variation of the harpischord that gave the player the ability to play soft or loud (forte means loud). Over time the 'forte' was dropped. Just like we call our Cellular phones 'cell' or 'phone' or 'cell-phone' but rarely 'cellular phones.'
