específico

/espeˈθifiko/ · B1 · adj

specific

🎯 Sounds like specific with an es- in front; Latin species + facere = make a kind

From Latin specificus: species (kind) + -ficus (making). Something específico belongs to one particular kind. Spanish puts es- before sp-, as in español, escuela, especial. The stress falls on -cí-: es-pe-CÍ-fi-co.
