The German language is like legos. You can just slap words together to make new ones.

Like glove. It's Handschuh in German, which id hand-shoe. The language is full of words like this.

Such a shame that the German for shoe isn't foot-glove.

To prevent recursion obviously. It's like you have never languaged in your life.
