      It’s a weird meaning “study”, most often used in English to refer to pieces of music designed to help practise specific techniques. At a stretch, you could say that “studying” is an activity associated with children, and that’s the connection.

      Big stretch though.

        I mean, it’s used in English as well. Lots of English words originated in French…
