Here's one set of options:

Misneach "Courage"
Ionracas "Integrity"
Buanseasmhacht "Perseverance"
Aíocht "Hospitality"
Measarthacht "Moderation"
Torthúlacht "Fertility"
There are several possible translations for many of these, e.g., misneach could also be calmacht, etc.
Await further input ...

can part of a word be disected like in English, such I saw almost all of the 9 you listed, had "acht" at the end, simple coincidence or important language building blocks?
You have detected an important language building block.
The
-acht ending makes a noun out an adjective or sometimes an occupation. Some of the adjectives are:
críonna "wise, prudent"
cráifeach "pious, devout"
fadbhreathnaitheach "visionary, far-seeing"
buanseasmhacht "steadfast, persevering"
aíocht "hospitable"
neasartha "moderate, fair"
torthúil "fruitful, fertile, productive"
calma "stalwart, brave, strong"
ionraic "upright, honest"
As you can see, the
-as ending also makes nouns, sometimes from other parts of speech.
