Abstract: The ethnolinguistic features of vocabulary units pertaining to the names of clothing and their components that appear in Uzbek proverbs are examined in this study. The study supports the strong relationship between these lexical units and the people's way of life, historical and cultural memory, and national mentality. The proverbs' metaphorical and symbolic meanings are revealed through a semantic and functional analysis conducted during the investigation. Furthermore, the significance of clothing names in socio-cultural situations and their involvement in oral tradition are identified. Based on a variety of historical sources, anthropological research, and folklore materials, the study investigates the origins of clothing-related perceptions that are reflected in proverbs. By offering fresh theoretical perspectives, the research's conclusions advance Uzbek linguistics and ethnolinguistics.
