Word origin
The word 'rare' originated from the Latin word 'rarus', which means 'widely spaced' or 'thinly distributed'. Over time, it evolved to refer to something uncommon or of high value. The concept of rarity has always been associated with uniqueness and scarcity, making rare objects or events highly desirable.
