Etymology

The term 'spec' is a shortened form of 'specification,' which originates from the Latin word 'specificatio' meaning 'a representation' or 'a defining.' In technical contexts, the word began to be used in the mid-20th century as a response to the increasing complexity of engineering and design projects, necessitating a clearer and more comprehensive description of requirements. 'Speccing' emerged as a verb form derived from this noun, indicating the active process of developing specifications. As industries advanced, particularly in technology and software development, speccing became a critical phase in project management and product development, marking the shift towards more structured methodologies.
