Etymology
The word "especificar" comes from the Latin verb 'specificare,' which means to make specific or particular. It combines 'species,' meaning kind or type, with the suffix '-ficare,' which means to make or do. Did you know the root 'species' also gives us the English word 'species' referring to a group or kind of organisms?
