terminologies
Fields' specific words
Terminologies is the plural of terminology, referring to the specialized vocabulary or technical terms used in particular fields, professions, or subjects.
Different disciplines develop their own terminologies: Medical and legal terminologies can be difficult for laypeople to understand.
The word often emphasizes that distinct systems of terms exist and may conflict or overlap: The terminologies of psychology and psychiatry don't always align.
