Definition

The word 'rare' describes something that is not common, found, or happening often. It implies a low frequency of occurrence or existence. In everyday use, it can refer to objects, events, or conditions that are unusual or scarce. For instance, a rare coin is one that few exist, and a rare event is one that seldom happens. This usage is common in both formal and informal contexts when discussing scarcity or infrequency.
