This article is devoted to the study of the formation and semantic features of political terminology in the Arabic language. Today, the range of political vocabulary and terminology in the Arab world is very rich, and the development of the political lexicon has increased significantly, especially in recent centuries. The article analyzes the ways in which political terms are formed in the Arabic language, including how they are formed through morphological and syntactic processes, their characteristics, and what semantic loadings they have in social and cultural contexts. In addition, the article analyzes the historical and modern political processes of the Arabic language. The changes and developments experienced in the secret, international political realities and the influence of other languages such as English in the creation of new terms are also studied.
