rareness

/ˈɹɛɹnɪs/ noun

The property of being rare; rarity

Word Origin From Latin rarus 'loose, open, sparse' — originally describing a loosely woven fabric, then anything uncommon. Rareness is the state of being rare. The same root gives us rarefy (to make less dense) and rarefied (thin, elevated). The PIE root *ere- meant 'to separate,' so rareness is literally 'sparseness.'
