I have to disagree with this - it may not be a german word, but it
certainly is an English one - its been in consistant use in scientific
literature for ~30 years.
And iff has been in constant use in mathematics for over 40 years and
shows up in mathematics textbooks and papers but it's still not a
recognized English word. It's not in Webster's Unabridged (although
FUBAR is ;-).

Sorry for
my ignorance -- but is there someone who can present me
the german term for "affordance"? The web-dicts I searched, don't
know this word -- and the wikipedia entry doesn't give me any clue
about the german word (though I understand the concept).
The problem is that it's not a word. Your understanding of it is
probably the best definition there is ;-)
