In Latin, The same langauge we get Unicorn from, ala means wing and cornus means horn. much like alipes(swift; lit. Wing Foot) is conjugated from Ala meaning wing and pedis meaning foot, as well as Unus meaning one and cornus meaning horn conjugates into unicorm. Ala(wing) + Cornus(horn) would conjugate into alicorn (wing horn).

Regardless of source, the term alicorn has been canonized.
