Term: paucital
Definition: Paucital means rare. It is often used to describe something that is not common or happens very infrequently. It is similar to the term "in personam," which means a legal action brought against a person rather than property. An action in personam involves determining the personal rights and obligations of the parties involved. For example, if someone sues another person for breach of contract, it is an action in personam because it is about the rights and interests of the parties themselves.
