ad hoc什么意思?

在SOP中看到ad hoc,缩略词中也没有解释,网上查了半天。原来ad hoc的意思是"特别的,专门的,即兴的",金山词霸里就有。
ad hoc
ad hoc
adv.(副词)
For the specific purpose, case, or situation at hand and for no other:
特别地,专门地:为某一即将发生的特定目标、事件或局势而不为其他的:
a committee formed ad hoc to address the issue of salaries.

adj.(形容词)
Formed for or concerned with one specific purpose:
专门的:为某一特定目的形成的或与某一特定目的有关的:

Improvised and often impromptu:
即兴的,即席的:即席的,通常未事先准备的:
"On an ad hoc basis, Congress has . . . placed . . . ceilings on military aid to specific countries"(New York Times)
"在事先未做准备的情况下,国会已…规定了…对特定国家军事援助的最高限额"(纽约时报)
