At first glance, the process of studying word elements seems outdated and stale. However, the structuralist approach to language learning helps not only to take a philosophical look at the development of grammar, but also to establish deep connections in the structure of encoded meanings, and contributes to the study of the latest meanings in nominalization trends associated with internationalization and globalization as phenomena of modern life. In a broad sense, it is simply an interesting and fascinating journey into the history of language, as terms with final elements of classical origin are increasingly subject to varying degrees of adaptation in modern European languages. Consideration of the ways and means of penetration of finite term elements into the systems of different languages is an important step in the study of modern languages, the study of etymology, and the study of term elements in new European languages. The paper presents a detailed analysis of dictionary definitions, in the structure of which final term elements are distinguished. It is proved that any research methodology (contextual, comparative, interpretive, distributional, component, associative) has the right to exist. And the emergence of new terms or the adaptation of long-known ones is a challenge to the digitalization processes of today. The material for the study was based on etymological and explanatory dictionaries of Polish, German, French, and Ukrainian. The hypothesis of the study is that terms with finite elements of classical origin have undergone varying degrees of adaptation in modern European languages. They are characterized by a "standard set" of semantic groups of meanings, and the terms go back to the classical languages. The article uses descriptive and comparative and typological methods of research; the dynamics of adaptation of terms and their meanings is analyzed in synchronicity and diachrony. The conclusions illustrate typical metamodels in which information is encoded. The comparative study contains recommendations for the application (the terminology matrix exists and needs to be followed; the latest technologies and related artificial intelligence are polished by the linguistic units that form text passages; elements of terminology are capable of extrapolation)
