Frequents

/ˈfrekwənts/ verb

Definition

Visits or goes to a place often and regularly, like someone who frequents a coffee shop several times a week.

Etymology

From Latin 'frequens' (crowded, common, repeated), from 'frequare' (to fill/crowd). The meaning evolved from 'crowded with people' to 'visited repeatedly.'

Kelly Says

The word 'frequent' can be both an adjective (happening often) and a verb (to visit often) — a curious double meaning where the state of being frequent and the action of making something frequent use the same word.
