Terminology is the set of terms belonging to the special language of an individual subject field. Any scientific, technical, or social field has its own range of terms. We have to acknowledge the fact that the terminology of a certain area is not just a state, a phenomenon, but a continuously developing process. The majority of the constitutive terms of the editorial-polygraphic terminology represent neologisms borrowed from other languages. Few of them are of Romanian origin, qualified as national ones from the point of view of forming and usage, and appeared as the result of practicing some autochthonous arts and crafts. The borrowings have been made through various ways and differ from one historical period to another and from one region to another. These are the terms of scientific, international origin, as a rule, appeared as a result of the development of the world civilization. Either way, it has been established that regardless their origin, they have the same evolution as the other words of the language, being subjected to common linguistic and extra-linguistic processes.
