Explicitly naming and validating the feeling a patient is expressing, rather than moving straight on.
Acknowledging emotion — 'I can see you're really frightened by this' — often does more than any reassurance.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
