  1. Scientific names are often derived from Greek or Latin descriptive words.

    The closest Latin I could find on -line was:

    latin: raffinatio  = refinement

    Are really asking for a dictionary, to list all the species, and give the derivation of both the genus & species names ?


  2. You need to know who named the species/genus, find their original description and that will tell you how they derived the name. The type of dictionary you are looking for doesn't exist.
