This study is devoted to the linguistic analysis of the formation, development, and current state of Arabic terminology. The research examines the mechanisms of term formation, processes of semantic change, and issues related to the standardization of terminological units. It also highlights the interaction between the internal morphological resources of the Arabic language and terms borrowed from foreign languages. Descriptive, comparative, and historical-linguistic methods were employed in the study. The findings indicate that Arabic terminology is developing in two main directions: through the utilization of internal linguistic resources and through adaptation to the global scientific and technological system.
