    Most of the words asked here are covered in the tamil thesaurus published by the department of official languages. I have seen the thesaurus for law, medicine, IT. Another good source is the school textbooks given each year, some even include have very good glosories.

    Irony in Thamizh could mean



    ethir + thoni = ethirth thoni {ethir: opposite}

    ethir + nadai = ethir nadai [ethirk karuththu]

    ethir + karu = ethirk karu (pronounced as ethirk katu)

    ethir + marai = ethir marai [marai poruL kondathu]

    Thamizh word for that could be

    from the roots of siranthu theLivathu; ontril siranthu theLinthAl athil siranthu viLankalAm.

    ethirk karuththugaL?

    speciazliation could also mean sirap peral or sirap padal

    relating to sirappu (special)
    siranthu = to be good at something or something to appear plentiful
    peral (to gain)
    padal (thErchchi adaithal allathu thEral)

    sirappAna (special)
    sirappudaiya (being special)


    specialization then in my view could mean

    srap peral, sirap padal, sirath thEral, sirath theLithal, siramural etc
