Shouldn't it be pictures of a warehouse first, and then on the full moon it turns into a house making it a werehouse? A werewolf turns into a wolf on the full moon, so the "were" prefix should proceed what it turns into. Unless this is supposed to be a were-warehouse.

Fuck you and your logic.

But yes…

We're werehouses here, not swearhouses.

A werewolf is always a werewolf that transforms from man (prey) to wolf (predator) when there is a full moon. So in this example the werehouse would go from house to wrecking ball.

kinda, the "were" actually comes from old Germanic "wer", meaning "man". Werewolf just means "man wolf" lol. So I suppose a warehouse could be a human who turns into a house at full moon

Were/wer is old English for man. I think the word is related to the Gaelic word “fear” (pronounced fare), also meaning man.

Thus a werehouse would be a man that is cursed to transform into a house.
