Rare enough to double-check

vzácný is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈvzaːt͡sniː]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. 3 senses are on record.

vzácný has no tracked misspelling variants, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is vzácný, spelled V-Z-Á-C-N-Ý.
