Is there a trick for figuring Latin names for animals?
Waterballoon
Do you mean the scientific names? These are usually but not always derived from Latin or Greek, but most of the common words are already in use.
As a general rule, the answer for those names is "no". The Australian animal that was once called Platypus ("flat foot") later became Ornithorhynchus ("bird beak"), because platypus had already been used for a beetle. If you looked at one, you would have no way of knowing how it had been named. Somebody might have decided it was a sort of southern beaver and called it Australocastor ("southern beaver"): it isn't a beaver and that would be a poor choice, but it might have happened.
