Etymology
'rarely-recommended' is a compound word formed from 'rarely' and 'recommended'. 'Rarely' originates from Middle English 'rar', meaning 'seldom', and 'recommended' comes from Latin 'recommendare', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'commendare' meant 'to entrust'.
'rarely' evolved from the Middle English 'rar' and 'recommended' from the Latin 'recommendare', eventually forming the modern English compound 'rarely-recommended'.
Initially, 'rarely' meant 'seldom' and 'recommended' meant 'to entrust again', but together they evolved to mean 'not often suggested'.
