Etymology

The term 'nonrecurring' is formed from the prefix 'non-', meaning 'not', and 'recurring', which comes from the Latin 'recurrere', meaning 'to run back'. The word 'recurring' has evolved over time to describe events that happen repeatedly or cycles that return. The use of 'nonrecurring' in English dates back to the mid-20th century, becoming more prevalent with the rise of financial reporting and analysis. It is often utilized in accounting to denote items that do not appear in subsequent periods, providing clarity in understanding a company's ongoing financial health.
