I just want to point out that in terms of etymology, I think that using a French verb is a little strange, considering "octave" already has a inherently musical connotation without the French background. It's nitpicky but I think that it probably comes just from the word "octave" itself, meaning the space of 8 notes between successive pitches, if you will, between the same note. I could be wrong though.
