Etymology
The word 'recur' comes from the Latin verb 'recurrere', which means 'to run back' or 'to return'. It is formed from the prefix 're-' meaning 'back' or 'again', and 'currere', which means 'to run'. The word entered the English language in the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century, and has since evolved in its usage, particularly in mathematics and literature where it describes repetitive functions or themes.
