I have a wonderful book, "Composition of Scientific Words" by R.L. Brown.
1956. Revisesd 2000. Smithsonian Institution Press. Washington and London.
882 p. It has root words, some species and genera...
e.g. oblido= flattened; oblitero=blot out / cancel
scrobis= ditch, trench
The Smithsonian may have something on their website?
For scientific names in honor of people, see BEMON...
