Calcitro, calcitrare, calcitravi, calcitratus means "to kick" when the verb is used intransitively, which is to say without an object (e.g., "He lay there kicking and screaming").
Transitive usage ("to kick something") requires a circumlocution, such as calce ferire, literally "to strike with the heel". (The verb ferio, ferire has no past tense of its own, past tense forms being supplied by the verb percutio, percutere, percussi, percussus.)
A side note: both calcitrare and calce ferire mean 'to kick with the heel(s).' That's how a Roman kicked - kicking anything straight on while wearing sandals was not a good idea.

"To forgive" is ignoscere, with the transgression forgiven in the accusative and the person forgiven in the dative. That is, in Latin you forgave something to someone, the opposite of the English usage in which you forgive someone for something.
The Vulgate Bible (the 5th-century AD Latin translation of St. Jerome) uses demittere in the same way, as in, for example, demitte nobis debita nostra ("forgive us our debts") in Matthew 6:12. This usage is apparently not classical; in classical sources demittere means "to send down; to put down; to let fall."

I think you may be confused. First of all, your question should have been:
What does the English word, 'to do', mean in Latin?
Anyways, it's facio, facere.
Facio is singular, while facere is plural.
Answer 2: I agree with the answer, but just as a quick thing: facio is the first-person singular ("I do"), but facere is the present active infinitive ("to do"), and doesn't have number.
Is the correct Latin term for 'a lone hero' solus vir?
Technically, 'vir' by itself just means 'man' and such, though it could be understood as hero if it is in context. Idiomatically, Latin uses 'vir fortissimus' to mean hero, which literally means 'strongest man' and could supply context for any future uses of 'vir' by itself. The word 'heros' means hero, but it is limited in use to demigods. Otherwise, 'solus vir fortissimus' is most correct, but 'solus vir' can suffice if given the right context. It is worth mentioning that the order of those words is unimportant and can be shuffled with the same meaning.
What is the meaning of Latin word alias?
Alii is the singular dative case of the indefinite pronoun alius (mas. nom.) meaning other or another. Like Latin adjectives, most Latin pronouns decline in all 5 cases and have number and gender: masculine, feminine, and neuter in order to stand in for the noun they represent.
For example, I could say: Cupio cibus. (I want food Lit: I desire food) and if you give me chicken but I meant beef, I might say:
Cupio alliud. (I want the other (food).
