The emergence of new lexical units in world linguistics is closely linked to the appearance of new objects and concepts. This study explores the formation of insurance-related terms in English and Uzbek through semantic derivation, focusing on the mechanisms of meaning transfer—metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche. The research identifies structural and cultural peculiarities of semantic derivation in both languages, highlighting universal and national characteristics in the development of domain-specific terminologies.
