The rhetorical omission of conjunctions between successive clauses to quicken the pace of a passage.
"I came, I saw, I conquered" gains its momentum from asyndeton, dropping every joining word.
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.
