Etymology
'rarely-transported' is a compound word formed from 'rarely' and 'transported'. 'Rarely' originates from Middle English 'rarelī', meaning 'seldom', and 'transported' comes from Latin 'transportare', where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'portare' meant 'to carry'.
'Rarely' evolved from Middle English 'rarelī', and 'transported' from Latin 'transportare', eventually forming the modern English compound 'rarely-transported'.
Initially, 'rarely' meant 'seldom', and 'transported' meant 'carried across'. The compound 'rarely-transported' retains the meaning of 'not often moved'.
