Abstract

This article appeared on the several sciences border: clinical anatomy, clinical physiology and philology. Accordingly, its authors are a clinician, a teacher of higher education and a philologist. The authors critically analyze some of the Ukrainian (Greek and Latin derivative) terms based on special literature and writing sources, philology works and their own experience. At the same time, they substantiate every nation’s right to introduce terms into their special scientific nomenclature that are more common in this language, folk household, in accordance with their ideas.
The authors call for the correction of some Ukrainian and Latin terms indicating inflammation, as well as - to distinguish adjectives in the clinical and anatomical nomenclature of ones that indicate quality from those indicating the relation, belonging to a particular subject, formation, phenomenon. The terms in the Ukrainian language was often formed under other languages influence and sound sometimes wrong, so it makes sense to replace some medical terms with new, correct ones. It seems like some, firmly rooted terms, require some correction. First of all, as already mentioned, those of them that are based on subject analogies (analog terminology).
To develop the Ukrainian language in all spheres of science, including medical science language is our duty. And the work on Ukrainian medical terminology improving is a permanent process, as well as the society development in general.

Keywords

clinical terms, analog terminology, inflammation markings, suffixal terminology formation, qualitative and relative adjectives in medicine.
