🇩🇪🇬🇧 German Words in English: Rucksack! 🎒
Did you know that the English word “rucksack” comes directly from German? 🤔
In German, “Rücken” means back and “Sack” means bag. Put them together, and you get “Rucksack”, literally a bag carried on your back! 🎒
The word made its way into English and is still commonly used today, especially in British English and outdoor activities like hiking and camping. 🥾🌲
Another great example of how the German language has influenced English! 🇩🇪❤️
