Etymology
'infrequently-displayed' originates from the combination of 'infrequent' and 'displayed'. 'Infrequent' comes from Latin 'infrequens', meaning 'not crowded', and 'displayed' comes from Latin 'displicare', meaning 'to unfold'.
'infrequent' changed from the Latin word 'infrequens' and 'displayed' from 'displicare', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'infrequently-displayed'.
Initially, 'infrequent' meant 'not crowded', and 'displayed' meant 'to unfold'. Over time, 'infrequently-displayed' evolved to mean 'not often shown'.
