Abstract

The article is dedicated to the use of Latin metaphor, the specifics of the metaphorical picture of the world in medical terminology. The topic is relevant, since for a perfect comprehension of any specialty, a professional must certainly master the terminology of his profession. The basis of the terminological vocabulary of many sciences, including medicine, are terms of Latin origin. This is because the Latin language is essential in the training of medical professionals and pharmacists. They deal with it, when they study the data of diseases, anatomical and clinical terms, names of medicinal raw materials, phrases used in the recipe. The practical significance of the study is that the totality of judgments about the individual is reproduced in the metaphorical composition of medical terms.
