Versipellis is believed by many to be the Latin word for werewolf but it in fact only means double dealer. Separate the two pieces versi and pellis and put them next to each other in a phrase (I.G. "versi pellis") and THAT phrase means something closer: "They turned the skin of".
However, plugging werewolf directly into a Latin-English translator came up with the word lupinotuum (loo-pee-naw-too-um) which is, strangely, not actually a Latin word but ALSO two put together. Lupi notuum means "known to wolves" so is also close.
However, in the days when Latin was spoken as a fluent language in places other that churches or the Vatican, werewolves were not nearly as common a phenomenon as they have come to be now. It is doubtful there is a word that would describe a werewolf.
Some Latin phrases might work to get the point across however:
Lupi viri "The men of wolves" - Lupi being PLURAL for wolf, hence ending in an i rather than a u
Lupu vir "The wolf is the man"
Lupus homine "The wolf man" - my personal favorite
