@BellGoRiing: Yes, you spelled it right :)

There are other monsters whose names reference things like that, too. For example, in an above post, I said that I thought Bracchidios's name came from "brach-", meaning "arm", and "dos", meaning "two".

Another classic example is Hypnocatrice, which comes from "hypnos", some Greek deity of sleep, and "cockatrice", which is a bird-like monster of myth and legend.
