/ɪnˈfriːkwəntli ˈsteɪtɪd/
rarely mentioned
Etymology
'infrequently-stated' originates from the combination of 'infrequent' and 'stated', where 'infrequent' means 'not occurring often' and 'stated' means 'expressed in words'.
'infrequent' changed from the Latin word 'infrequens' and 'stated' from the Latin word 'status', eventually forming the modern English term 'infrequently-stated'.
Initially, 'infrequent' meant 'not crowded' and 'stated' meant 'set forth', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'not often expressed'.
