To me, this question is relatively unclear, but I think I can answer it.

If you're trying to name a thing in that way, there's two simple steps:

Think of words related to your concept.

For example, let's think of blood. Let's say that the ability is having blood and being able to do things with blood. I'm going to think of a few words relating to blood:

Red, crimson, claret, life, vitals, lifeblood, heart, vein, ichor, liquid

So I've got that selection of words. Now we need to move onto the next step.

Think of a word to combine it with.

This is a bit like how you came up with 'Locksmith'. I'm going to now brainstorm some words that can well describe the manipulation, movement and POWER of blood!

Sorcerer, magus, mage, manipulator, twister, brain, flow, telepathy, telekinesis

Okay so I think I've thought of something I like. I've thought of 'tell' which I think sounds nice with 'blood'.

Bloodtell, Bloodtold, Bloodteller, Bloodtenel

Out of all of those, I personally like "Bloodteller" the most because it uses an ~er ending showing that a Bloodteller is someone who does the act of blood-telling.

That's the process I would use to achieve what you are trying to do. It's all to do with brainstorming words that are related to what you are trying to base it off.

There is one golden rule when it comes to naming:

Do not be afraid to use trial and error.

This is the only way you'll find an amazing name. Try different combinations of things, and see what you like.

I hope this helped.
