Someone somewhere some time in the past: "Yeah, let's call this CSS concept 'specificity.' It's the perfect word: descriptive enough so people understand what it is; yet weird enough so that non-English speakers (and some native too) won't be able to pronounce it correctly."
[Probably followed by a loud "Mwahahahahahaha" and some more evil laughter over a background of a stormy night and lightning.]
@alvaromontoro In German it's "Spezifität". A word that is practically never used and it's hard to pronounce for pretty much everyone the first 10 times.
I guess they searched for a word that is terrible in as many languages as possible. 😁
