dis-: It is a Latin prefix used as "negation by opposition", probably inspired by the Greek 948; 965; 963;- ( dis- "anomaly") .
-metro: Suffix indicating a specific measurement of the unit meter, or measurement in general. From the Greek 956; 949; 964; 961; 959; 957; ( metron "measure" ) .
ebanófilo: I don't think anyone uses this neologism outside of a poem or an irony, because on top of that it can be considered racist. In principle it would be "someone who loves the ebony tree or its wood", but as it has a very dark and characteristic black color, in America it was said ironically that African slave traders were "importers of ebony"; and from there comes the definition provided by colleague Alberto, to compare the color of wood with that of the skin of people (men and women) with African origins. The rest of the meaning is provided by the suffix -filo, which is interpreted not only as an affection or hobby but also as a sexual inclination towards something or someone taken as an object.
-gate: It is actually English, where gate means "entrance, portal, entrance". But since the political scandal of the so-called 'Watergate case' for which US President Richard Nixon resigned, the suffix '-gate' was used as an "affair" in any case of corruption discovered by the press or any other media outlet. See english/gate .
sincericidio: It is a humorous neologism for when a fact is confessed unnecessarily, provoking some kind of punishment or retaliation accordingly or disproportionately greater. It is the word suicide, coupled with sincerity, and is understood as "death for being sincere".
honestismo: In Spanish it does not exist, unless it is an irony within the group of isms for a "doctrinaire and ideological honesty", as if being honest solves all problems, especially in politics.
cutushito: As far as I know, it does not appear outside the idiolect of the Mexican writer Rosario Castellanos Figueroa, in several of her works. It is used as "cute, cute, sweet, sweet, sweet, . . . " and while there is no recorded etymology, we can assume that it is a diminutive of English/cute.
infraleve: It is a neologism coined by the French Dadaist Marcel Duchamp for facts or situations that are barely perceptible, but we know that they are there and have an emotional value, which can be turned into art even by acknowledging their own existence. Actually 'infraleve' (infra-mild) is a translation of the original French inframince, inspired by mincer ("minimal, small").
caicena: Caicena is a river in Almedinilla (Cordoba, Spain).
gaeta: Gaeta is the name of a port and gulf in Italy, also from its commune in Lazio.

See verbs/squat . 2º_ It is an apocope of "squatter", "squatter", who occupies a physical place that legally does not belong to him to live, sow, carry out social or cultural activities. The change in "occupant" of the letter /c/ for a /k/ is to differentiate the motive from the usurpation, since it has a political origin that claims the use of all unoccupied premises by society, especially in cities with housing deficit and inhabitants who can not access a home. Although the name is also used by intruders who do not claim the Squat Movement, but settle illegally on land or housing. Ver squat ( english / squatting ) , provo ( Dutch provocerend ) , Situationist International , favela , villa miseria .
