particularly
To a degree
Particularly means more than usually or to a notable degree: The exam was particularly difficult this year.
It also singles out one thing from a group: I love all her novels, particularly the early ones.
The word emphasizes specificity or special relevance: Are you looking for anything particularly?
It often softens negatives: I'm not particularly hungry.
