Especially refers to 'particularly' or 'above all,' highlighting a singular importance or focus among others. On the contrary, specially denotes 'for a special purpose,' or 'specifically designed or organized,' implying customization or adaptation for a certain use.

Especially is used to single out something or someone as being more important or significant than others in a group or category. It emphasizes the exceptional nature of the subject. On the other hand, specially is used to indicate that something has been done or created for a particular purpose or person.

The meanings of specially and especially are very similar, so it can be hard to figure out which one you should use. Specially means “for a special reason” or “to a special or unusual degree.” Especially means “more than usually” or “for a particular purpose or person.”

The word especially is used for emphasis. It modifies nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and other phrases, but does not modify verbs. The word specially modifies a verb and means in a particular (special) way. It is usually used before a verb in the past participle form (e.g. specially + [designed/made/built])
