Does serpentomorph mean snake-shaped in Greek and Latin?

You're very close! While "serpentomorph" does indeed refer to something snake-shaped, it's not a direct combination of Greek and Latin words.

Here's the breakdown:

* Serpent- comes from the Latin word serpens, meaning "snake".

* -morph comes from the Greek word μορφή (morphe), meaning "shape" or "form".

So, serpentomorph means "snake-shaped" in a combination of Latin and Greek roots.
