Etymology

The word 'special' originated from the Latin word 'specialis', which means 'individual' or 'particular'. The evolution of the term occurred through the Old French word 'special', before making its way into Middle English as 'specialle'. The comparative form, 'specialer', is an informal construction in English grammar, where the suffix '-er' is added to the adjective. Typically, English speakers favor the construction 'more special' due to the perception that 'special' is a word of more than two syllables, which often leads to the use of 'more' instead of '-er'. Over time, 'special' and its derivatives have retained a sense of uniqueness and distinctiveness across various contexts, from everyday language to formal uses.
