"Danger, peril" is indeed the meaning of the first component of the word, but there is more to it.

Wow!

Ah, thank you! That's a great word; I actually can't think of a good equivalent in English. Once I realized that the second part of the word might be "lust", terms like "thrill-seeker" and "adrenaline junkie" came to mind, but those refer to people, not the feeling itself. I guess it's like Wanderlust, but for danger? Gefahrlust?
