What do you call special words or expressions used in a particular field of study?

Thickened Liquids
Transfer Belt
Special Term
TIA

The correct answer is: Special Term

The term described as "special words or expressions used in a particular field of study" is referred to as a special term. In professional and academic contexts, each field often has its own vocabulary or jargon that helps communicate complex ideas efficiently among practitioners. These specialized terms ensure that those within the field understand the nuances that may not be clear to outsiders. In contrast, the other options provided do not fit this definition. Thickened liquids refer to substances modified for easier swallowing, which is pertinent in healthcare but not a general term for vocabulary. A transfer belt is a supportive device used to assist in moving patients safely, not a category of vocabulary. TIA, or transient ischemic attack, is a medical condition but does not pertain to the idea of terminology within a specific field. Thus, "special term" is the accurate label for the words or expressions used uniquely within a given discipline.
