Etymology
'department-specific' originates from the combination of 'department' and 'specific', where 'department' comes from the Old French 'departement', meaning 'division', and 'specific' from Latin 'specificus', meaning 'pertaining to a species'.
'department' evolved from the Old French 'departement', and 'specific' from Latin 'specificus', eventually forming the modern English term 'department-specific'.
Initially, 'department' meant 'division' and 'specific' meant 'pertaining to a species', but together they evolved to mean 'relating to a particular department'.
