From Orcus (the underworld) + -īnus (adjective forming suffix). Sense 2 was used satirically to refer to senators placed into power by a decree written by Julius Caesar but only read by Mark Antony after the former's death. The joke referred to the fact that these politicians only rose to power through the will of a dead man, someone who belongs to the underworld.
