The article characterizes the peculiarities and cognitive potential of suffixal term derivation in the context of veterinary medicine. Linguistic research and description of the formation of the terminological system of veterinary medicine is relevant, since suffixation as a derivational-cognitive and evolutionary mechanism of the language of veterinary medicine is not sufficiently studied by linguistic science. The research material was a sample of lexicographic data recorded in specialized English dictionaries. The main methods used in our research are the method of semantic analysis of terms, lexicographic analysis, methods of classification and systematization, and the method of derivational analysis of terminological units. Various scientific approaches to the definition of the concept of derivation are presented, which is currently being actively studied as an independent linguistic global process and phenomenon in connection with the development of cognitive terminology and the recognition of the creative function of language in the processes of creating new terminological signs. In the derivational system of the language of veterinary medicine, the most popular is suffixation. The characteristic features of the suffixes of the English-language terminological system of veterinary medicine are, firstly, the stability of categorical affiliation, and secondly, the presence of meaning. The examples given by us unequivocally show that suffixes perform the classification function of determining the conceptual affiliation of a particular veterinary term. Processes of suffixal terminological derivation of substantives in veterinary terminology are important cognitive processes of development of the scientific picture of the world and language as a whole. Analysis of the specificity and role of suffixation in term formation shows a number of important aspects. First, there is a tendency to fix certain suffixes according to separate categories of concepts, in connection with which it is possible to single out groups of suffixes that express the categories of person, procedurality, objectivity, properties. Secondly, synonymy and homonymy of suffix formants are observed. Processes of suffix term derivation have a characteristic property that allows to reflect in the cognitive structure of the term its categorical affiliation, that is, the term belongs to a certain conceptual class
