Etymology
'seldom-transferred' is a compound word formed from 'seldom' and 'transferred'. 'Seldom' originates from Old English 'seldan', meaning 'rarely', and 'transferred' is the past participle of 'transfer', which comes from Latin 'transferre', meaning 'to carry across'.
The term 'seldom-transferred' combines the historical evolution of 'seldom' and 'transferred' to describe something that is rarely moved.
The meaning has remained consistent, indicating something that is not often moved or reassigned.
