Etymology

The word 'occurring' comes from the Middle English term 'occurren', which was derived from the Latin 'occurrere'. The Latin 'occurrere' itself is a compound of 'ob-' meaning 'against' and 'currere' meaning 'to run'. Thus, it originally conveyed the idea of 'running against' or 'coming upon', indicating something that happens in the proximity of an event or place. Over time, the usage evolved in English to represent any event or situation that takes place or is encountered at a certain time. The present participle form 'occurring' reflects an ongoing action, further enhancing its applicability in various contexts.
