Standard is a french word too... Was not used in this context in the first place but because the word already existed it was adopted quite easily... It is as widely used as "classiques" in both music and litterature and Arts in general.

On France Musique radio jazz programmes, to which I've been listening for some 30 years, they call them "standards" as in English
mchd Feb 6, 2014:
standards comme des standards de la musique, du jazz etc...
