This article is dedicated to the lexical-semantic comparative analysis of headwear vocabulary in the Uzbek and Karakalpak languages. The study aims to examine the etymological origins, semantic transformations, and cultural contexts of headwear-related terms in both languages, identifying their shared and distinct characteristics. The analysis focuses on the lexical-semantic features of terms such as “saukele” and “do‘ppi,” as well as their historical and contemporary usage differences. The article seeks to illuminate the linguistic and cultural interconnections between the Uzbek and Karakalpak peoples.
