Verb

spezialisieren

to specialize

sich ((auf+4)) to specialize in (sth.) The doctor specializes in surgery.

sich konzentrieren auf (to concentrate on), sich widmen (to dedicate oneself to)

From 'spezial' (special) and the verbal suffix '-isieren' (to make/become). Ultimately from Latin 'species' (kind).

It's a clear cognate of the English 'specialize'. Just remember it's reflexive ('sich spezialisieren') and takes the preposition 'auf' + accusative.
