Morphology
unfrequently = frequently (transparent) = un + frequent + ly
Meaning is directly the negation of 'frequently' formed by adding 'un-', so learners who know 'frequently' and 'un-' can derive it.
Etymology
The word unfrequently is built from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and frequent meaning 'often', which you also see in frequency. So unfrequently means 'not often' or 'rarely'.
