[cjjafvmy] Naming ideas in Latin or Greek

In English, when we want a name for a new concept, we turn to Latin or Greek.  Make this ability to create words more accessible, perhaps by having a word coinage organization well versed in Latin and Greek?  Naming things is important to be able to talk about them.

Failing those two languages, German is good for generating single words to describe a complicated concept.

Inspired by Japanese, which can use on-yomi instead of kun-yomi.
