Germans with poor latin doesn't change the meaning of words. Just like claiming something is "erroneous" doesn't make it so.
The meaning is "anti-Judaism" though. You're the one wanting to define it differently. Be my guest, but it's just good to know what the term means when people use it.
"Anti-" is a Greek prefix and semitic is a French loanword ("sémitique") with a Hebrew root (שם - "shém" meaning name).
