Kind of in German? Because the last “word”-part in the word determines what it really is and the separate parts of the word stay with the same meaning most of the time, so the end result is often connected to the meanings of the word parts it is made up of.

As example:

Fahr = driving-related Fahrt = the drive Plan = map, plan Bus = … bus

Fahrplan = timetable for trains, busses etc Planfahrt = drive that is according to some plan (instead of outside of the planned timetable) Busfahrplan = timetable for busses
