'seldom-analyzed' originates from the combination of 'seldom' and 'analyze', where 'seldom' means 'rarely' and 'analyze' means 'to examine in detail'.

'Seldom' comes from Old English 'seldan', and 'analyze' comes from Greek 'analusis', meaning 'a breaking up'.

Initially, 'seldom' meant 'rarely' and 'analyze' meant 'to break down into components', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
