(recommend)
suggest as suitable
Etymology
'seldom-recommended' originates from the combination of 'seldom' and 'recommended'. 'Seldom' comes from Old English 'seldan', meaning 'rarely', and 'recommended' is derived from Latin 'recommendare', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'commendare' meant 'to entrust'.
'seldan' transformed into the Middle English 'seldom', and 'recommendare' evolved into the modern English 'recommend'.
Initially, 'seldom' meant 'rarely', and 'recommend' meant 'to entrust again'. Over time, 'recommend' evolved to mean 'to suggest or advise'.
