Point to Swing
We don't seem to have a clear consensus, but I don't want to hold the game forever.

Is the kiwi a result of crossbreeding? Either the fruit, or the bird? I'm struggling to see what else would inspire such a clue. I guess Part could be a somewhat synonymous word, too, in some contexts. Or maybe Compound is more accurate. Crossbred = hybrid = compound. Part would be more synonymous with Halfbred.
If you know what I mean.

Heh, and I thought it might be easier from this angle

Compound seems possible, but I don't really like it.
Lab might be crossbred, if meant in the sense of Labrador Retriever. It's now a pure breed but originally came from other breeds.
The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were crossbreeds. It's a stretch, but it seems like stretches are all we've got so far.

And we're still missing a Sorceress. Hard to believe Fly wasn't it, but can't argue with the results. No great ideas. Maybe after I sleep on it...

I like Kiwi and Compound. Maybe Hood is the last Sorceress word?

The ones that jump out to me are:
Compound - as discussed, I think this is good
Part - I think is the weaker version of the same thing
Dinosaur -From jurassic park, again weak
Lab - Where the cross breeding takes place? weak
Ruler - like the entirety of the European royal families were going back a bit
I think I would guess compound, ruler, hood.

European rulers being crossbred is a fantastic connection, and I'd love for it to be true.

Ok I think we are at the point that Mardoc can point to Compound if he likes it
Probably Hood too which was my and zaks favourite from last round and seems to have found favour with El Grillo
