What does RECUR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To happen again, especially after a period of time or at repeated intervals.
Recur describes something that returns rather than something that begins fresh, so a recurring problem is one already met before, not a new problem. The word covers physical events, like fever or pain, and mental ones, since a thought or memory can recur without any outside cause. English formed recur from the Latin recurrere, run back, and that image of running back to an earlier point still fits how the word is used today. A speaker who says an issue keeps recurring is pointing to a pattern rather than a single incident.
