"Actress" and "hostess" are two of many instances of a suffix that is also used frequently in Italian, so I'd guess it has Latin origins. "Heroine" uses what seems to be a Germanic suffix. Are there any other instances of that suffix in English?
Pig Latin (engl.; wörtlich: Schweine-Latein) bezeichnet eine Spielsprache, die im englischen Sprachraum verwendet wird.
Sie wird vor allem von Kindern benutzt, aus Spaß am Spiel mit der Sprache oder als einfache Geheimsprache, mit der Informationen vor Erwachsenen oder anderen Kindern verborgen werden sollen.

Sometimes "dog Latin" can mean a poor-quality genuine attempt at writing in Latin.
Dog Latin is used, inter alia, by art directors, advertising agencies, publishers, etc. to pr...

A corn dog is a hot dog sausage coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep fried in oil, although some are baked. Almost all corn dogs are served on wooden sticks, though some early versions had no stick.
History
There is some debate as to the exact origins of the corn dog; they appeared in some ways in the US by the 1920s, and were popularized nationally in the 1940s. A US patent filed in 1927, granted in 1929, for a Combined Dipping, Cooking, and Article Holding Apparatus, describes corn dogs, among other fried food impaled on a stick; it reads in part:

During his career he won the top division championship on three occasions and came close to becoming the first foreign-born grand champion, or yokozuna, prompting a debate as to whether a foreigner could have the necessary cultural understanding to be acceptable in sumo's ultimate rank.
