An archaic verb meaning to occur, happen, or take place.
From Latin accurrere 'to run to,' from ad- + currere 'to run.' This variant of 'occur' shows earlier English forms before standardization.
In 14th-century English texts, 'accur' and 'occur' both existed as competing forms—it's a reminder that 'correct' spelling is modern invention, and medieval writers had flexibility we've since lost.
