Use a Latin translator! You can find them for free, and while they won't give you the most sophisticated translation you'll get a nice approximation of word that is unusual and probably unfamiliar but still resonates with readers, or for something really strange, try Finnish, they have about a million letters in them. (J.K. Rowling does this with her spells. Accio is just Latin for “to come”)

Taking my own advice: Venators
