Abstract

Scientific terminology is a system of names of things and phenomena, which enables scientists to make themselves understood. A term which denominates a thing or a phenomenon must be unambiguous, precise and definite. Latin is an ideal language for science for its stability and precision. The influence of Latin, as an international language of science on medical terminology; the history and the outline of the development of medical terminology and the unification of medical terminology of different countries were reviewed in this article.
