Usage

The adverb seldomly is first recorded in the 16th century, but between then and the 1970s it was used only rarely. It is regarded by many people as incorrect, because it duplicates the meaning of the simpler word seldom, which is itself an adverb.

Origin

Mid 16th century (rare until the late 20th century): from seldom + -ly2.
