Abstract

The article is devoted to the role of an adjective in the structure of a compound term, to clarify the motivation of the scientific and professional name, the functioning of terms with a direct component in various fields of knowledge. The following terms are collected from the relevant branch dictionaries, which contain the named adjective, their motivation and internal form, correct and incorrect orientation of terms are considered. Attention is paid to the reflection in the definitions of the named adjective, as well as to the interpretation of the same terms in different industry systems. The прямий adjective is ambiguous. However, it is interpreted differently in common use and in professional use. Only a few values out of eight are embodied in term systems. We highlight the terms with existing and hidden motivation. Existing motivation (intralingual) can focus on the meaning of the concept correctly and incorrectly. The motivation of many terms is perceived differently by professionals and non-specialists, educated and uneducated people. A special, professional meaning may not at all hint at the meaning of the components of the word, and may not be tied to it. In the definitions of the term, the adjective may be repeated, and may be replaced by a synonym, or even be absent, which does not always correctly focus on its meaning.
