This work deals with the characteristics of suffixation
as on of the most productive ways of termformation.
Linguistic study and description of the
term-forming system in the natural science
terminology is relevant because suffixation as a
cognitive-derivational mechanism of a language is not
being studied closely enough, although it is necessary
due to a rapid development of numerous
terminological and subject areas. There is a pressing
need felt in terminology studies to define and describe
productive methods and primary ways
of producing substantive terms in the natural science
terminology, because it holds a special interest for
humanity. The processes of suffixal term derivation of
substantives in the natural science terminology are
important cognitive processes in scientific worldview
development and a national language in general. The
processes of suffixal term derivation have a specific
quality that allows reflecting the categorical affiliation
of the term in its structure. Terms derived suffixally
can be categorised into three terminological modules
for suffixal derivation that are formed based on a
common root, suffix or a derivational model. The
study of the derivational mechanisms of termformation
in the natural science terminology
(chemistry, mineralogy, geology, Pharm, etc.) based
on a noun allows to say that the suffixation is one of
the most productive ways of forming derived terms. A
suffix acts as a special cognitive-derivational code in
the derivational relations system holding and
actualizing specific information
