specificspecificEtymology
Special entered Romanian in the nineteenth century, during the period when scholars reshaped the language by borrowing directly from French and Latin. It comes from Latin specialis, meaning belonging to a particular kind, which itself derives from species, meaning appearance or kind. The ultimate root refers to the act of looking or seeing.
