How are new spells discovered?

In Harry Potter, all the spells are just Latin words. With a Latin dictionary, couldn't someone just master all the spells? Would forming a sentence in Latin cast a spell? Is Latin simply a magical language? And finally (and most importantly), since there are a limited number of possible Latin verbs, is it possible to even *create* a spell at all, or are they simply discovered by shouting phrases and waving your wand?

This isn't true at all. While some of the incantations may *resemble* some Latin words of appropriate meaning, they are not proper Latin words, or any other language for that matter.
