   Many things in language do not have a why, only what and how.   
   The German meaning is older, and can also still be seen in Dutch   
   winkelhaak.   
      
   What is the German word for Dutch winkelwagen? Probably something with   
   Laden (which in Dutch means drawers). Nein, Einkaufswagen sagt DeepL.
