I thought this is a German word and wondered about it.
But I am told it's Dutch, where Winkel means shop, hence
a shopping cart. Why is shop Winkel in Dutch? I suspect
that Winkel, as in German, means angle.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Winkel#EtymologyMany things in language do not have a why, only what and how.
The German meaning is older, and can also still be seen in Dutch
winkelhaak.
What is the German word for Dutch winkelwagen? Probably something with
Laden (which in Dutch means drawers). Nein, Einkaufswagen sagt DeepL.
