Etymology
'seldom-associated' originates from the combination of 'seldom' and 'associated', where 'seldom' meant 'rarely' and 'associated' meant 'connected or linked'.
'seldom' changed from Old English 'seldan' meaning 'rarely', and 'associated' from Latin 'associatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'seldom-associated'.
Initially, 'seldom' meant 'rarely', and 'associated' meant 'connected', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
