Here are some German compound words that I like:
gloves = hand shoes (Handschuhe)
dictionary = word book (Wörterbuch)
vocabulary = word treasure (Wortschatz)
hippo = Nile horse (Nilpferd)
turtle = shield toad (Schildkröte)
light bulb = glow pear (Glühbirne)
guinea pig = little sea pig (Meerschweinchen)
And this one I don't get: space = world room (Weltraum).

space, as in outer space, is the room that the world is in. ja?
I suppose. I would not have thought to call it that
