Pianoforte did not get shortened there is a difference between pianoforte and piano. Piano means to be played softly, while pianoforte wants it to be played softly but with a variation of loud and soft noise levels.
The word Piano in sheet music is derived from the Italian language, and the word meaning softly. Just as pianoforte means soft and loud, and the word meaning that there is variation between loud and soft noise levels.
When the piano was first created, it was called the "piano forte," which means, "soft loud." It was called this because it was essentially the first instrument of the time that could play both loudly and softly. Later, the name was shortened to "piano." Also because the original name for the piano was clavicembalo [or gravicembalo] col piano e forte (literally harpsichord capable of playing at the normal level, or more strongly). (italian)

Well, first the harpsichord was invented; this instrument was only soft so you could not get loud. Then the Gravicembalo col piano e forte was invented, which means "harpsichord with loud and soft". Needless to say, this was shortened to pianoforte which just means loud-soft. And then around 1900, it was shortened again to piano, which is ironic, because pianos can still play both loud and soft. But "piano" is just a whole lot more convenient to say.
