more readily; preferably (I'd rather go to the movies); with more reason, logic, wisdom, or other justification; more exactly; more accurately (he's rather a good friend); to a certain extent; somewhat (it is rather cold today); on the contrary; in expressions of preference 'rather' is commonly preceded by 'would' or in formal style 'should' (we would rather rent the house than buy it outright; I 'should' rather my daughter attended a public school); the use of 'had' in these constructions may now be more infrequent than it once was but is still encountered in reputable writing (I 'had' rather be happy than be a slave; I'd rather stay); notice that in these constructions 'would' and 'should' cannot be used; this use of 'had' shows an unbroken line of usage running back to Middle English, and traditional criticisms of these constructions are unfounded; before an unmodified noun, only 'rather a' is used: It was 'rather' a disaster; when the noun is preceded by an adjective, however, both 'rather a' and 'a rather' are found (it was rather a boring party); when 'a rather' is used in this construction, rather can be construed as qualifying only the adjective, whereas with 'rather a' it can be construed as qualifying either the adjective or the entire noun phrase; thus 'a rather long ordeal' can mean only "an ordeal that is rather long", whereas 'rather a long ordeal' can also mean roughly "a long process that is something of an ordeal"; 'rather a' is the only possible choice when the adjective itself does not permit modification (the horse was rather a long shot (not the horse was a rather long shot)
