I was working on reading this sentence and found the definition of 专门 not helpful.

像这样的一个人物,每天所收到请柬之多,可想而知。专门有一个秘书,处理每天收到的请柬。

ChatGPT said: The most common usage of zhuānmén (专门) is "specifically" or "exclusively"—used to describe something done for a particular purpose or assigned to a particular person or task. For example:

我专门来找你。 (Wǒ zhuānmén lái zhǎo nǐ.) → "I came specifically to see you."
他有一个专门处理投诉的团队。 (Tā yǒu yī gè zhuānmén chǔlǐ tóusù de tuánduì.) → "He has a team dedicated to handling complaints."

I tried to order the definitions by most frequent usage, and to group the words by category into senses. Looking forward to see your ruling.
