CLINA Revista Interdisciplinaria De Traducción Interpretación Y Comunicación Intercultural, 9(1), 87–111. https://doi.org/10.14201/clina20239187111http://hdl.handle.net/10400.8/8484One of the principal means of neological enrichment of Spanish medical terminology is undoubtedly the importation of words coined in other languages. From this point of view, French, along with English and German, is the modern language that has predominated in the medical language of European Spanish. The repertoire presented here is compiled of imported names of the French language that refer to diseases, extracted from lexicographic works published between 1999 and 2021. For each selected term, information on spelling, grammatical behaviour, meaning, and etymology is provided. The study contributes to an understanding of how the influence of French, which was particularly intense in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, is still felt today, despite the influence of the English language, and that this is reflected not only in the quantity and variety of imported elements, but also in the presence of linguistic phenomena that alter the prosody, morphology and meaning of numerous medical terms.spaExternal neologyLinguistic loanwordsGallicismsMedical loanwordsPathological terminologyjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.14201/clina202391871112444-1961
