Etymology
The term 'rarely-conveyed' is a compound adjective formed from 'rarely,' meaning 'not often,' and 'conveyed,' the past participle of 'convey,' which originates from the Latin word 'conviare,' meaning 'to carry together.'
'Convey' evolved from the Old French word 'convoier,' which was derived from the Latin 'conviare.' The term 'rarely' has its roots in the Old French 'rarelment,' which means 'seldom.'
Initially, 'convey' meant 'to carry or transport,' but over time, it evolved to include the meaning of 'communicating or expressing ideas.'
