not often delivered
Etymology
'infrequently-delivered' originates from the combination of 'infrequent' and 'deliver', where 'infrequent' means 'not occurring often' and 'deliver' means 'to bring or transport to a destination'.
'Infrequent' comes from the Latin word 'infrequens', and 'deliver' comes from the Old French 'delivrer', which means 'to set free'.
Initially, 'deliver' meant 'to set free', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to bring or transport to a destination'.
