How to translate “Lustwandelei” ?
“LUST” means “pleasure” and
“WANDELN” means to “convert” or “transform”, but it is also an old fashiond term for “walking” or “strolling”, as is
“LUSTWANDELN” which translates to “pleasure stroll”
“-ei” is a suffix to transform the verb into a noun, just as the suffix “-ry” in English changes the verb “to bake” into the noun “bakery”
“Lustwandelei” is therefor a German neologism to describe a shop where a beautiful stroll is manufactured and sold: a PLEASURE STROLLERY
