TechnicalRegister
A new independent company created out of a larger parent, often to commercialise a specific business or technology.
The research unit was floated as a spin-out, with the parent retaining a minority stake.
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.
