What is the difference between access specifiers and access modifiers?

Question

In Java, are access specifiers and access modifiers the same thing?

Answer 1

There is nothing known as "Access specifiers" in java, there are only Access modifiers in java

The misconception is from languages like C++ where public, private, protected, default are considered as Access specifiers and remaining (static, final, etc) are considered as access modifiers

Following is the proof as compiler says "modifier private not allowed here" i.e. compiler said modifier and not specifier
