English makes compound nouns like 'firefighter' (one who fire-fights) but there was a bit where we just decided to do it backwards because we felt like it, resulting in compounds like 'pickpocket' (one who picks pockets, you see the difference?)

I love that that was a thing and I love that there's a set of terms from the time that survive today, just a handful of words that were made backwards
