Dinosaur in Latin means terrible lizard, so, 'terrible lizard' is the Latin word!.
Cold and high up, Antarctica is already pretty inhospitable. But these two characteristics are also responsible for it achieving the accolade of windiest continent on the planet.

The term was manufactured from the Greek in the mid 19th. century. The term means horrible lizard.
There is no Latin word for them.
The windiest place on earth is behind a dinosaur that has been eating cabbage trees.

'Dinosaur' actually means 'terrible lizard' or 'giant lizard' because they were massive and terrifying to people. Sir Richard Owen coined the word 'dinosaur' in 1841. It goes back to Greek word origins: Deinos>> means terrible or great and sauros>> means lizard.
Each dinosaur got its name from a combination of word origins in references to it's particular characteristics. For example, The Diplodocus- “diplo” means “double or in pairs” and “docus” means “beam, bar or shaft”. Diplodocus, therefore, means a dinosaur with two backbones.
Second Question:
According to Extreme Science, the most windiest continent anywhere on earth is the Antartica.

How about... Although these terrible lizards have latin names, they were all gone before latin was even uttered. Yeah, I know its not very good or all that hard, but its all that I could think of.

I'm not sure but, I think the Latin translation for dinosaur, is dinosaur.
Windiest place? Port Martin, Antartica.

"Dinosaur" is a neo-GREEK word coined in the 19th century in England. Latin was "dead" by then. If you must come up with a Latin version, for a translation, for example, you can use "dinosaurus" which is a Latinized version used by taxonomists.

I am guessing that there is no exact equivalent because mankind did not understand fossils in that time. So they would not have used a word to describe the origin of one if they found it.
