I'm feeling rather better today.

I'm feeling rather better today.

How does rather work here?
Cambridge says rather means quite or to a slight degree or sometimes very.
After a little searching this site, I understand meanings of rather and quite depend on the context, intonation, or even a face expression.
Thanks

We can't use "rather" or "quite" comparative context. But we can with adjective We can say "I am feeling rather lucky today".
