Summary/Abstract: The loanword куранты examined in the present article is a case of the development of Russian “civilization” vocabulary in the 16th and 17th centuries. Research permits the conclusion that the semantic scope of the Russian term куранты was formed on the basis of different European sources for a long period. These sources include Vulgar Latin, Old French, Dutch, German and Polish. The mediation of colloquial Ruthenian (проста мова) is not to be excluded, either.
