Also, technically Latin (even if most are referencing the English word): "Miri", "Arena", "Genesis", "Babel", "Vortex", "Paradise", "Tribunal", "Equilibrium", "Defiant", "Rapture", "Chrysalis", "Chimera", "Penumbra", "Faces", "Elogium", "Alter Ego", "Coda", "Rise", "Nemesis", "Vis a Vis", "Demon", "Virtuoso", "Unimatrix Zero", "Q2", "Author, Author", "Oasis", "Stigma", "Horizon", "Exile", "E²", "Daedalus", "Terra Prime", "Lethe"
"Conundrum" is also etymologically believed to have been based on a made-up Latin word.
The Animated Series is the only series not to have a Latin title. Star Trek Nemesis is the only movie to have a Latin title (except neither Star nor Trek are Latin).

Those are some of the best dramas of the last 15 years or so. That you place DSC in the conversation with them after only 4 episodes is pretty high praise indeed. As much as I'm loving DSC so far, I think I'll wait for a few more episodes before placing them in such company.
Actually half of the episode names that you use in your post are Greek:

Hebrew.

Correct. There are many Greek loanwords in Latin, just like most of them found their way into English. I was being cute with my response, for example "Miri" is probably from the nickname short for Miriam (a Hebrew name), and not from the Latin plural for mirus (wonderful or amazing).
I confirmed that each and every one of those Greek words had a Latin definition.
Of course they do. Just as they now have an English definition. That hardly makes them English (or Latin) in origin. Like you acknowledged, they’re loanwords from Greek.
So, to get back to the episode titles, it’s:
Ep 6: "Lethe".
Greek for forgetfulness and oblivion.
Ep 7: "Magic to make the sanest man go mad".
Quote by (Greek poet) Homer from The Iliad.
Ep 8: "Si vis pacem, para bellum".
Famous Latin quote meaning "If you want peace, prepare for war".
Ep 9: "Into the forest I go".
Quote by (Scottish-American author) John Muir.
"Into the forest I go, because, well, I'm lost".
Into the forest I go because we’re shooting this in Canada.
"Into the forest I go, because I'm alone and I really want to know if trees make a noise when they fall down". 
Into the forest I would go if I could find it. As it stands, there are all these trees in the way...
