I am an ESL teacher who is at war with the word rucksack. It is a gnomic word that blocks understanding. Backpack, a pack for the back. Is that a back pack? Why yes it is Ming! It is a pack on someone's back! Is that a rucksack teacher? Fucked if I know, I have never seen a ruck nor would I know what kind of sack I would need for it.

Yes you are right, this prson should get a rucksack.

A rucksack is a Sack on someone's Rücken.
