MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FORMATION OF PHYSICAL TERMS
Keywords:

The formation of physical terms is closely connected with morphological processes that ensure accuracy and clarity in scientific communication. This article examines the main morphological characteristics involved in the creation of physical terminology, including affixation, compounding, abbreviation, and borrowing. Special attention is given to the role of Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes, which contribute to the systematic and standardized development of physics terms. The study shows that morphological structures help organize scientific concepts, improve understanding, and facilitate effective communication across languages. The findings confirm that morphology plays a key role in the formation, development, and international consistency of physical terminology.
