Ausdrock

Luxembourgish

Etymology

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.)
