Etymology
'infrequently-transported' originates from the combination of 'infrequent' and 'transported'. 'Infrequent' comes from Latin 'infrequens', meaning 'not frequent', and 'transported' is derived from Latin 'transportare', where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'portare' meant 'to carry'.
'Infrequent' changed from the Latin word 'infrequens' and 'transported' from 'transportare', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'infrequently-transported'.
Initially, 'infrequent' meant 'not occurring often', and 'transported' meant 'carried across'. Together, they describe something not often moved.
