Abstract

The use of the noun učin (effect) and adjective učinski (effective) in Croatian electrotechnical terminology is examined, covering the period from the publication of Šulek’s Hrvatsko-njemačko-talijanski rječnik znanstvenog nazivlja [Croatian-German-Italian Dictionary of Scientific Terminology] in 1874 until today. It has been established that the term energetska elektronika (energy electronics) encompasses only part of meaning of učinska elektronika (power electronics), that is, the part used in power engineering. The term učinska elektronika is in line with the terminology used in most European languages (e. g. English, German, French, Russian, Italian, Slovenian) and satisfies all the principles of the formation of professional terminology.
