Ausdrock
Luxembourgish edit
Etymology edit
From aus (“out”) + Drock (“pressing, pressure”), after German Ausdruck, a backformation from ausdrücken (“to express”) in the one sense and ausdrucken (“to print out”) in the other. (In Luxembourgish, one may consider Ausdrock a single noun as the distinction between the underlying verbs does not exist.)
