Appearing to be a binding promise while in truth committing the promisor to nothing.
A promise to buy as many units as the buyer might wish was struck down as illusory for want of any real commitment.
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.
