infrequent
adj
This term describes a low frequency of occurrence without necessarily implying that the event is surprising or abnormal. It focuses on the gap of time or space between repetitions, suggesting a sparse distribution of events. While similar to rare, infrequent is more neutral and clinical. Rare often suggests something precious, unique, or highly unusual, whereas infrequent simply means the schedule or habit is not regular or dense.
