In this article, we study some important term characteristics and aspects of its rise and operation. It is shown that a significant number of terms have a dual role as they operate in a specific domain where they are customary and widely used, and in the common area where they have a highly specialized nature. It is conjectured that to carry out demarcation of the terms from the non-terms, it is expedient to take into account the fact that all terms are generally divided into two major groups: proper terms and terminological words. The national and international tendencies in terminology are reviewed. As time progresses, the science of Linguistics, which is directly related to society, continues to develop.  New fields and branches of Linguistics are emerging, and new approaches to researching these areas are also created. Since Terminology is a complex field, the study and research of this ground is vital.  The scientific study of the lexical-semantic features of legal terms, especially, the comparison of terminological units in three languages, in English, Uzbek and Russia is quite complicated and requires a lot of research and effort from the researcher. This article conveys the definition and distinctive features of terms from linguistic point of view. The author discusses the origin of terms, term-formation, the requirements of terms and modern Terminology. As requirements of terms, the author emphasizes structuralism, ambiguousness, brevity, clarity and linguistic basis. Moreover, research areas of Terminology are mentioned in detail.
