How it's used
Functions as a formal modifier indicating that a person or group has been assigned a specific, exclusive duty. It is frequently encountered in professional, governmental, or organizational contexts rather than casual conversation. When used as a verb phrase, it implies a dedicated focus on one particular objective to the exclusion of other tasks.
Examples
The company set up a special task force to handle complaints.
Which department is specifically responsible for handling this case?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 負責, but 專責 carries a stronger sense of exclusivity and narrow focus. It is not used for general responsibilities, only for specific, designated assignments.
