specificities
Precise individual characteristics
Specificities are particular details or precise qualities that distinguish something from general categories.
The word often appears in academic or technical contexts where exactness matters: The contract's specificities were negotiated over months.
Where "specifics" emphasizes individual facts, specificities suggests the quality of being specific—the particular nature of something rather than just a list of details.
