When you see a difficult-to-analyze situation like this, the reason why it's hard to analyze is often because it is elliptical, that is, words have been left out. This type of sentence probably started out as: "Vinum is the Latin word for wine." But over the years this got shortened for convenience to: "Vinum is Latin for wine." So the word "Latin" was originally an adjective in this sentence
