Massic
In the natural sciences, including physiology and engineering, the qualifier specific or massic typically indicates an intensive quantity obtained by dividing an extensive quantity of interest by mass.
For example, specific leaf area is leaf area divided by leaf mass.
Derived SI units involve reciprocal kilogram (kg−1), e.g., square metre per kilogram (m2⋅kg−1); the expression "per unit mass" is also often used.
In some fields, like acoustics, "specific" can mean division by a quantity other than mass.
