particularise
Make more specific
Particularise is the British spelling of particularize, meaning to give specific details or treat something individually rather than generally.
To particularise a claim is to support it with concrete examples: The report failed to particularise which departments overspent.
The word appears in legal and academic contexts where precision matters.
