ri-KUR/rɪˈkɜː/

To recur is to happen again, often more than once: a problem recurs, recurring costs. Repeat (already in the dictionary) is everyday; a recurrence is the noun; cease sits opposite. Seasonal colour is branding for a hole you have already seen.

Meaning

To happen again, often more than once.

Examples

• “If night absences recur, log a rota finding, not “seasonal colour”.”
• “Repeat is already in this course. Return is looser. Branding is a caption. A rate with a date is evidence. Open the rota; do not caption the hole.”

Good to know
