'That word' (below-hyperlinked to Wiktionary's main page about the Proto-Germanic language) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Germanic” is built on Foundations beneath words that mean “Sprout, Bud (possibly 'to give Birth, Beget')” (of the Teutonic Race, Language-Family that includes German & Dutch & English etc.).Its meaning–"of the same Parents or Grandparents"–tells us why you can also call your First-Cousins your "Cousins-German."

me how-wrong/right I am in the comments below 😁
