Etymology
'uncommonly-displayed' originates from the combination of 'uncommonly' and 'displayed', where 'uncommonly' means 'not common' and 'displayed' means 'shown or exhibited'.
'Uncommonly' comes from the Old English 'uncūþ', meaning 'unknown or strange', and 'displayed' comes from the Old French 'despleier', meaning 'to unfold or spread out'.
Initially, 'uncommonly' meant 'strange or unknown', but over time it evolved to mean 'rarely or not often'.
