This article analyzes some of the Arabic loanwords that have become part of the Uzbek lexicon, particularly those denoting occupations, based on morphological patterns (weights). The research focuses on words derived from certain Arabic patterns such as ((فَعّال, فَاعِل, مُفَعِّل)) that form occupational nouns, personal names, adjectives, and negative qualities, and on how they have been integrated into the Uzbek language. The study examines changes in meaning, the importance of understanding the root and the morphological pattern for correct comprehension, as well as accurate orthography. In addition, it considers the historical development of these borrowed words, their sources, and the methods by which their semantics can be properly understood.
