Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term is a compound formed by attaching the Latin-derived negative prefix non- to specificity, which ultimately traces back to Late Latin specificus. Emerging in modern academic and technical discourse during the mid-20th century, it combines the prefix indicating the absence of a quality with the noun form describing precision or distinctiveness.
