Description: Rarefied is an adjective that means of high class or caliber.
The Latin word rarus (RAHR oos) means ‘thin’ or ‘rare.’ When something is rarefied it is made more rare and more valuable. For example: These rarefied antiques are worth much more than they appear to. That tea kettle you’re looking at is worth at least a million dollars.
