And since I'm at it, as for mesmerize, mesmerism appears to come from the surname of one Austrian Dr. Friedrich Anton Mesmer, who came to live and work in Paris, this leading to the nouning of his surname as mesmérisme. So less German and more Austro-French?

There's room for a ouija pun here but I can't seem to spin it just right...

This is where a citation would've been handy -- I completely agree with sionnach, but out of curiosity I checked the OED to see if there was someting I was missing. The definition of mogul to which betsyshane must be referring is

"A bump on a ski slope, by which a skier's progress may be impeded."

which appears to come from

"German regional (Austria) Mugel hillock."

Also, I think that the word "mogul" is Persian, not German, in origin.
