Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is a preliminary analysis of Polish veterinary terminology that is noted in the most important 19th-century lexicon of Polish medical terminology, i.e. in “Słownik terminologii lekarskiej polskiej” [“Dictionary of Polish Medical Terminology”] of 1881. The description of the material beginning with the letter P resulted in the conclusion that Polish veterinary terminology is still very strongly connected with the Polish medical terminology of the time and is at the same stage of development and transformation as Polish medical terminology. This means that Polish veterinary terminology: 1) is largely native, 2) there are still fluctuations in the limits of terms, 3) synonymy is present in it, albeit on a smaller scale, 4) there is no polysemy in it, 5) it is created mainly through morphological derivation.
