  A few additional fun points about this:

  • “Crab” is Germanic.
  • “-ification” itself has its roots in Latin, so even your proposal would be “Latinised”.
  • "carcino- comes from Ancient Greek.
  • True crabs’ scientific name, “Brachyura”, is Neo-Latin derived from Ancient Greek.

  I mean most of the European languages do the same with mostly ancient Greek and Latin.
