What does RARITY mean in Scrabble?
noun
The quality of being uncommon, or a thing that is uncommon and so valued.
Rarity can describe how scarce something is, as when collectors talk about the rarity of an old coin. It can also name the object itself, so a sighting of a bird far from home is a rarity. Scarcity often raises worth, which is why the two meanings tend to travel together. The word comes through French from the Latin raritas, based on rarus.
