    German and swedish is quite similar, I’m guessing this is a regular undersökningshandske?

      But the „Schuh“ at the end of the word means „shoe“, so glove is hand-shoe (Handschuh) in German. Wonder if it is the same in Swedish.

        Yes, it’s the same, all the way back to old norse at least.

          Germanic languages love descriptive compound words… only English stopped doing it and now prefers to pillage other languages for vocabulary.
