() — (of consistency) thin, watery; (of frequency or density) sparse, rare

Definition

稀 covers two unrelated meanings: watery consistency (e.g., thin porridge) and sparse/rare (e.g., thinning hair, rare guests). For 'rare', use 稀少 for sparse distribution and 稀有 for uncommon objects — 稀 alone is shorter and more colloquial.
