This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the etymological origins, morphological formation, linguistic function, and semantic aspects of the -ism suffix in Uzbek philological terminology. It traces the evolutionary development of the affix from Ancient Greek -ismos, Latin -ismus, and French -isme, through Russian and eventually into the Uzbek language. Based on Russian and English sources, the study explains how the suffix is used to form terms derived from noun, adjective, and occasionally verb roots. The adaptation of borrowed scientific, literary, philosophical, and stylistic terms into Uzbek via transliteration is also explored. A statistical analysis identifies 47 terms with the -ism suffix in the fields of literary studies and linguistics. Their origins (Latin, Greek, French, Russian, etc.) and semantic groupings (literary movements, linguistic phenomena, stylistic categories) are presented with tables and diagrams.
