About

The word 专门 is formed by combining the character 专, which conveys the idea of "specialization" or "concentration on one thing", with the character 门, which literally means "door" or "gateway" but here is used metaphorically to represent a "field", "branch of study", or a defined "avenue". Together, they create a conceptual image of a dedicated passage or domain set apart for a particular purpose, thus arriving at the meaning of "specially" or "exclusively" for something.
