Morphology

specs = specification (semi-transparent) = spec + s

While 'specs' is derived from 'specification', the abbreviation and plural form may not be immediately clear to all learners.

Etymology

Specs is a short form of specifications and comes from the root spec-, which also appears in specific and specify, where 'specific' means 'clear' or 'exact'. So specs are the clear details that describe what a product can do.
