Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes terms – word combinations as constructions in modern Ukrainian medical terminology. The author considers the word building of polycomponental terminology. The adjective word combinations and specifics of semantic and structural features are emphasized. The author denotes the perspectives of the use of complex word building models in medical terminology. Medical terminology is an integral part of modern scientific vocabulary, a subsystem of the national Ukrainian language. The process of forming it is complex, long and multidimensional, it is each time expanded and replenished with new lexical units. In particular, the main array of terminology of the language of medicine is the terms-phrasing. As to the understanding of the essence of such scientific concepts on the lexico-semantic and grammatical levels, in the works of terminology scientists there is an ambiguity of their interpretation; The word-building organization of medical multicomponent terminological entities is not well-studied, did not find the full coverage of semantic-structural features In particular, medical terms-word combinations the same as complex terms are expressed as a holistic concept, have a wealth of semantic and stylistic compatibility of components, a „sign post and nominative sign” in derivative model. They are bulky, less economical, however this required precision expresses a scientific unit not only in grammatical but also in semantic terms. This terminological word formation is a meaningful process, allowing you to control and regulate it. This leads to a significant quantitative growth of productive and popular terms-elements (both Ukrainian and „borrowed”) varies terms fond of language of medicine, giving a choice on less numerous and unproductive derivational patterns and actively functional, better adapted to the rules of the Ukrainian language.
