Particularising, also known as particularization, is a verb that refers to the act of specifying or providing specific details or examples in order to make something or someone more distinct or individualized. It involves giving concrete, detailed information about a particular subject or narrowing down a general statement to a specific context.
When particularising, one is emphasizing the unique qualities, characteristics, or features of a person, object, event, or situation. It often involves providing more specific examples, details, or explanations to support a general statement, hypothesis, or argument. By particularising, one aims to make a concept or idea more precise and comprehensive, enabling a deeper understanding or appreciation of its distinct characteristics.
In various contexts, particularising can be seen in scientific research, legal proceedings, storytelling, and academic writing. Scientists particularise their hypotheses by providing specific experiments and evidence, lawyers particularise their cases by presenting specific facts and examples, authors particularise their stories by describing particular scenes and characters, and researchers particularise their theories by analyzing precise data.
Overall, particularising plays a crucial role in enhancing clarity, precision, and accuracy, helping to distinguish between generalizations and specific instances. It allows for a more thorough and focused understanding of a subject matter, as the specific details and examples provide a foundation for comprehensive analysis, evaluations, or conclusions.

Entering into particulars.
Etymological and pronouncing dictionary of the English language. By Stormonth, James, Phelp, P. H. Published 1874.
The term particularising is derived from the word particularize, which originates from the combination of two Latin roots: particula and -izare.
1. Particula derives from the Latin word pars, meaning part or bit.
2. -izare is a suffix that indicates the process of making or forming something.
When these elements are combined, particularize is formed, meaning to specify or give detail to something. The addition of the suffix -ing transforms it into a verb form, resulting in particularising.
