I prefer to call my gloves handfurs thankyouverymuch
Handskar, I stand with the Germans on this one

Once you can wrap your head around Handshuhe, Fingerhut becomes obvious. "Ah, so this is how this is going to go."
Glove: From Middle English glove, glofe, from Old English glōf, *glōfe, *glōfa, ("glove"; weak forms attested only in plural form glōfan (“gloves”)), from Proto-Germanic *galōfô (“glove”), from Proto-Germanic *ga- (“collective and associative prefix”) + Proto-Germanic *lōfô (“flat of the hand, palm”)
Enjoy your palmsies
I also learned today that a German word for accordion is Handharmonika, and I love it so much.

In Japanese, gloves is "tebukuro", 手袋, where 手 ("te") means hand, and 袋 ("fukuro") means sack.

Handschuhe literally translates into "hand shoes" so it’s the only one that makes any sense.
Well, in English, “glove” is made up of two parts: g + love. The G is for your homies, and the love part is holding hands with your homies, and that’s what wearing a glove feels like.
Don’t fact-check me. >.>
What not being conquered by the Romans does to a language.
Welsh is another good example
Then a wild перчатки (perchatki) appeared.
