particularizes
Makes more specific
Particularizes means to give specific details or treat something in detail rather than generally.
Someone who particularizes moves from the abstract to the concrete, specifying exactly what they mean: The contract particularizes the duties of each party.
The word appears more often in formal or academic contexts than in everyday speech.
