This article explores the lexical-semantic features of Arabic-derived medical units found in Abu Ali Ibn Sina’s Canon of Medicine. It analyzes how these terms entered the Uzbek language, their semantic transformation, instances of polysemy and homonymy, and their usage in both modern medical language and colloquial speech. The analysis focuses on historically significant terms such as dabba, xafaqon, and moxov, examining their medical and stylistic characteristics, meanings in explanatory dictionaries, and functions in artistic and spoken discourse.
