Simply compress 1 folder in batch with WinRAR command line?

Using the WinRAR command line (C:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe), all I'm trying to do is compress a single folder (C:\Users\%username%\desktop\someFolder) and possibly change the name of the .zip file created. I've tried just "rar.exe a "C:\Users\%username%\desktop\someFile" and it works, but it compresses another folder (not the one I put). What am I doing wrong? Can you also provide explanation (and maybe tell me what recursion is because I'm unfamiliar with it)? Thanks
