/ˈspeː.si/

Geleen van Latyn

speciēs

In summary

From Middle Dutch specie (“kind, sort”, 14th c.), borrowed from Latin speciēs. The sense “mortar” also appears in spijs, Middle Dutch spise (literally “food”), and it is not clear which of the two words developed it first; compare German Speis, Maurerspeise.
