Etymology
Romanian borrowed "specialitate" from French "spécialité" in the 19th century, during a period when Romanian scholars deliberately reshaped the language's vocabulary along Latin and French lines. The word traces back to Latin "specialitas, specialitatis", built from "specialis" (special, particular) plus the abstract-noun suffix "-itas". "Specialis" itself derives from "species" (appearance, kind), rooted in the verb "specere" (to look at, observe).
