Zimmer

Mobility aid frame

Zimmer is a German word meaning room, appearing in English primarily in two contexts.

A Zimmer frame (chiefly British) is a lightweight metal walking aid for people with limited mobility—Americans call it a walker.

The word also appears in compound hotel terms borrowed from German: Doppelzimmer (double room), Einzelzimmer (single room).
