"That word" is used in the Bible-study letter (to partners of BVOV Ministries) I share in the post linked-to below.
What I show here is 'the group of words' that give "that word" a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Especially” is built on ancient words that mean Especial + the suffix Ly.
The word "Especial" is built on ancient words that mean "(Belonging to a Particular) Kind (or Species)" (the prefix |E- is from Old French, which added the prefix to Latin words that started sp-, st-, sc-; originally synonymous (in English) with Special, tho later restricted to Feelings, Qualities, etc.)
The suffix "-ly" is built on word that mean "(Similar in) |Appearance, Form" (see |Lich, Like).
