subject-specific
Limited to one area
Subject-specific describes something that applies to or is designed for a particular field or discipline rather than being general.
A subject-specific vocabulary includes terms used mainly within one area of study: medical students must master subject-specific terminology.
Subject-specific knowledge contrasts with transferable skills that work across domains.
