Etymology
'uncommonly-carried' originates from the combination of 'uncommonly' and 'carried', where 'uncommonly' means 'not common' and 'carried' means 'to transport or bear'.
'Uncommonly' and 'carried' have been used separately in English since the Middle Ages, but their combination into 'uncommonly-carried' is a modern construct.
Initially, 'uncommonly' meant 'not common', and 'carried' meant 'to transport'. Together, they describe something not typically transported.
