rare
Something that is hard to find or doesn’t happen very often might be rare.
We also use "rare" to describe a beefsteak that has not been cooked for very long. A steak ordered rare will be red inside.
Adding an "ly" ending to "rare" creates the adverb "rarely." This has almost the same meaning as "almost never."
