Jul 8, 2015 at 14:53 comment added O. R. Mapper @splattne: It's a composite noun. I don't see a necessity for composite nouns to be "words" in the sense of being defined somewhere (or else, I wouldn't be sure "Schrankschlüssel" or "Schubladenschlüssel" are words, either). Whether or not the key can also be used for something else should be irrelevant; if I mount appropriate locks, my "Hausschlüssel" can easily also serve as a "Schlafzimmerschlüssel" and a "Schrankschlüssel", without being less appropriately called "Hausschlüssel". Note how in hotels, a "Zimmerschlüssel" is sometimes also a "Hausschlüssel".
Jul 8, 2015 at 14:49 comment added splattne @O.R.Mapper Is there really such a word as Stornoschlüssel? Or is a key which also can be used for other things, like the "Abschluss" at the end of the day?
Jul 8, 2015 at 14:36 comment added O. R. Mapper @splattne: That "full version" borders on being artificially prolonged. "Ich brauche den Stornoschlüssel." or at least "Ich brauche den Stornierungsschlüssel." is already complete. Of course, you can always find a longer variant.

May 30, 2011 at 12:54 comment added splattne Btw, the expression is colloquial and a nice example for Sprachökonomie; the full version is much longer: "Ich brauche den Kassenschlüssel, um eine Stornierung durchzuführen."
