How do you talk about pressure in German?

The German word Druck (m.) means “pressure” and appears in many everyday expressions.

This word, of course, is related to drücken (“to press”/”to push”), which you’ve seen on doors and computer applications (e.g. ESC drücken), which is not to be confused with drucken (“to print”).

Examples
