Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the peculiarities of semantics of motivators in the structure of lexical meanings of polysemantic substantives with the suffix -nik. The analysis reveals hidden meanings in the semantics of derived units. It is concluded that idiomacity, which is a characteristic feature of the substantives under study, is the most important factor of transparency of their semantic paradigm. In the major part of the words, polysemy is formed by the repetitive use of a certain word-formation pattern.
