Wtf kind of warehouse is that? My garage is more of a warehouse.
Werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word 'were'--which means man--and wolf; 'werewolf, man wolf.
Source: I watched Prisoner of Azkaban last night.
Warehouse, on the other hand, is literally a “house of wares”.
Is it really a contraction if it's just two words stuck together? Pretty sure a contraction is shortened.
