Abstract
This article examines the semantic transformations observed in Arabic loanwords integrated into the modern Uzbek literary language. While a significant portion of the Uzbek lexicon originates from Arabic, the borrowed terms often diverge from their original meanings, either expanding, narrowing, or in some cases, acquiring entirely different connotations. By exploring examples such as lahm, basir, kun fayakun, kasofat, qavm, jāhil, zamir, and others, this study highlights the dynamic processes of linguistic adaptation and semantic change in Uzbek.
