Well, my point still stands. Given that the vast majority of English words are borrowed from other languages, why don't we ask the same question about all sorts of words? Maybe this word is uniquely German and doesn't have an equivalent in other languages -- I don't know enough about other languages to know that without further investigation -- but the mere fact that a word was borrowed from German to English doesn't seem like reason enough to ask why it's a German word.
