But that word is constructed for the effect. Even in German it does not
make much sense, as “Speed Limit” (Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung) is
enough. You would not say “Maximum-speed limit” or for a closer
translation “Limitation of the maximum speed”, would you?

"Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenüb ertragungsgesetz",
"Freundschaftsbezeigungen",
"Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften"
and all the other German portmanteau words?

But I know what you meant!
