Here's a full explination with sources from The University of Notre Dame

Ala means wing as seen in the first word on this page http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookup.pl?stem=ala

Cornu means horn as seen in the first word on this page http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookup.pl?stem=cornu

Now, It's not alacorn. because words conjugate when conjoined. For example it isn't Unicuscornu

http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookup.pl?stem=unicus

It's unicorn.

Alipes is used to mean "Swift" it's literally "Wing foot" from [ala] -wing and [pedis] -foot.

http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookup.pl?stem=alipes

So, Wing [ala] and horn [cornu] would be alicorn.
