Collins michael@theusajournals.com <p>The rapid evolution of biotechnology as a scientific discipline necessitates a robust and precise terminological system for effective communication. This article investigates the primary etymological pathways and lexical formation processes evident in English biotechnological terminology. Drawing upon various linguistic analyses, we explore the structural and semantic peculiarities of both single-component and multi-component terms, highlighting the significant roles of derivation, compounding, and semantic phenomena such as metaphorization. The study underscores how the interdisciplinary nature of biotechnology influences its linguistic landscape, fostering a dynamic creation of neologisms and the re-purposing of existing lexical units. Understanding these formation mechanisms is crucial for terminology standardization, translation, and enhancing clarity in scientific discourse.</p> 2025-07-01T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Prof. Michael J.
