Etymology
'rarely-moved' is a compound word formed from 'rarely' and 'moved'. 'Rarely' originates from Middle English 'rarelī', meaning 'seldom', and 'moved' is the past participle of 'move', which comes from Latin 'movere', meaning 'to move'.
'Rarely' evolved from Middle English 'rarelī', and 'moved' from Latin 'movere', through Old French 'movoir', to Middle English 'moven'.
Initially, 'rarely' meant 'seldom' and 'moved' meant 'to change position', and these meanings have largely remained the same in modern usage.
