This is the sort of truncated bemusement with which German often
afflicts me. Note that rhino- means nasal and cera refers to horn, so
the word in english also means "nose horn", just in a way which seems
more natural to native english speakers. It's just harder for germans
to hide their idiosyncrasies in Latin. (02)
