It seems clear that these abilties are named using Latin and Greek root words. I'm a bit rusty on my prefixes and suffixes, but I think they can roughly translate to:

Prehensile = "before" (pre) + "grasp/capable of grasping or holding" (hensile/hendere)

Polycheiria = "many/multiple" (poly) + "hands/handedness" (cheiria)

Parasitism = "beside/next to" (para) + "feeding/grain/food" (site)

Echolocation = "sound" (echo) + "place/location" (location/locatio)

Photokenisis = "light" (photo) +"movement" (kensis)

Arachnoptysis = "spider/relating to spiders" (arachno)  + "to spit/spitting/spitting up" (ptysis)

Acanthosis = "spiny/thorned" (acantho) + "condition" (osis)

Xiphorrhea = "sword/penetrator" (xipho) + "flow/running together/discharge" (orrhea)

Harpagorrhea = "grappling hook/iron hook/harpoon" (harpago) + "flow/running together/discharge" (orrhea).

Hydrophilia = "water" (hydro) + "love/attaction to" (philia)

Electrosis = "electrical/electricity" (electro) + "condition" (osis)

Pyrophilia = "fire/heat" (pyro) + "love/attaction to" (philia)

Please correct me if I missed the mark on a few of these.
