Means you can make up your own animals with horns in silly places and in arbitrary numbering:
Tesseracephaceros, for example. I’m no etymologist but I think he’s got four horns on his head.
The word rhinoceros is derived through Latin from the Ancient Greek: ῥῑνόκερως, which is composed of ῥῑνο- (rhino-, “nose”) and κέρας (keras, “horn”) with a horn on the nose. The name has been in use since the 14th century.[8]
Little harder than uni and corn but still good

To be fair, it’s a little easier if you’re in the medical field, because rhino- is actually used as a medical prefix
An ear, nose, throat doctor’s full title is actually Otorhinolaryngology
