Étymologie


The verb "to specify" comes from the Latin word 'specificare,' which means 'to make specific or particular.' It entered English in the late 16th century, combining 'species' (a kind or type) with the verb-forming suffix '-fy.' Did you know? The word originally related to classifying or distinguishing types, but now it is widely used to mean stating something clearly and exactly.
