The German word is beautiful, by the way: Gaumenzäpfchen
“Gaumen” is the roof of the mouth (palate).
And a “Zäpfchen” is a small “Zapfen”, which is a thing that protrudes from something, e.g. an icicle is an “Eiszapfen” and a pine cone is a “Tannenzapfen”.
It’s like someone took the sentence in the picture and made a word out of it. 🙃
