The german word 'Rechtsanwalt' means 'lawyer'. 'Rechts' translates to 'right' and is the opposite of 'Links' which means 'left'. Confused the heck out of me why there is no such thing as a 'Linksanwalt' until I realised that 'Recht' actually stands for the word 'law'.

Furthermore the study of law is called 'Jura' which comes from the latin word for 'law' but also means 'jurassic'. Took me a long time to figure out that those people are not studying dinosaurs.
