Also means
quite
Usage Note
Plutôt (note the circumflex on ô) means 'rather', 'quite', or 'instead', depending on context — plutôt bien (pretty good), viens plutôt demain (come tomorrow instead). It should not be confused with plus tôt (earlier / sooner), written as two words without the circumflex. This is a classic French spelling trap.
Examples
"C'est plutôt difficile à expliquer."
Natural Translation
It is rather difficult to explain.
