Morphology
Latinesce = Latin + Esperanto (semi-transparent) = Latin + esce
The word is a recognizable blend of 'Latin' and part of 'Esperanto', but the exact blended form is not fully predictable.
Etymology
Latinesce is a modern name made by mixing Latin with a final part -esce. A helpful way to remember it is to think of -esce as 'becoming', so Latinesce means 'becoming Latin' and that fits its idea as a made-up language that blends Latin and Esperanto.
