      Zug is the noun to “ziehen”. Like the Lokomotive pulls the wagons and “anziehen” is the German verb for “to dress” and in that case you can “interpret” again a “pull” (like in pullover) and the noun to “anziehen” is “Anzug”.

      But yes it typically makes at least some sense but sometimes it’s pretty abstract or doesn’t work very well.

      There’s a lot of things you can ziehen though:

      Anziehen, ausziehen, umziehen, wegziehen, verziehen, aufziehen, abziehen, erziehen, beziehen and probably a couple more I forgot.

      Also, Bezug and Beziehung are two different words that can mean the same but usually don’t.
