How do you say humpback in Latin?

The Latin word for "having a humpback" is gibber, -era, -erum. The hump itself is gibber, -eris, m.

The scientific name of the humpback whale has nothing to do with its back: Megaptera novaeangliae combines the Greek for "large wings" with the Latin for "of New England".
