There are several sites to help understand plant Latin. These references give the botanical etymology of plant names.
However formosa in particular is Latin for beautiful.

What else can I help you with?
Leycesteria formosa how do you propagate this plant?
Leycesteria formosa is easy to propagate. Cuttings can be taken from new growth or old growth, so long as a 'heel' is included. Break a small branch off from a bigger branch, taking its full length plus a little of the cambium from the main branch. This is called a heel. Place the cutting in compost or potting soil in a cold frame or greenhouse. In a few months it will have rooted itself. If overwintered, you will see new growth in the spring. Another option is to take a few berries from the plant in late autumn when they have dried up on the bush, and plant in a cold frame. By spring they should have sprouted.
