Zeichnungsteile

German: Zeichnungsteil

Custom parts. Called this not because they're part of a drawing, but rather that a drawing must be included in the order to specify them because they're parts that aren't in a catalog.

Sole

German: Sole

This one gets me every time.  It's brine - what kind of etymology could it possibly have?  Solebehälter, brine tank.
