Werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word 'were'--which means man--and wolf; 'werewolf, man wolf.

Source: I watched Prisoner of Azkaban last night.

Warehouse, on the other hand, is literally a “house of wares”.

Is it really a contraction if it's just two words stuck together? Pretty sure a contraction is shortened.

Those are Snape’s words, not mine. I suppose the proper term is Compound.
