Word origin
The word 'seldom' originated from the Middle English word 'seldan', which in turn came from the Old English 'seldan' meaning 'infrequently'. It has been used in the English language since the 13th century. Over time, its usage has remained consistent in expressing the idea of rarity or infrequency.
