I am not a native speaker, but as far as I know, the word is commonly used in English as well. Another practical reason to keep etude is that the word and its variants are used in many -- if not most -- languages (Russian, German, Estonian, Swedish, Czech, Polish, Norwegian, Serbian, my native Hungarian, etc.), speakers of which may not be familiar with the meaning of the French word. They would instantly recognize etude but not necessarily study.
