Definition
特定 (tèdìng) means 'specific, particular, designated' — it describes something precisely defined or assigned, not general. Unlike 具体 (jùtǐ 'concrete, detailed'), 特定 focuses on being prescribed or set; unlike 一定 (yīdìng 'fixed, given'), it emphasizes particularity rather than quantity or certainty.
