Something that happens, especially something that is seen or noticed; or how often something happens.
From Latin "occurrentia" meaning "a happening, meeting," from "occurrere" (to run toward, occur). It keeps the idea of events coming into contact with us.
When we call something "a rare occurrence," we’re really saying, "This kind of event doesn’t run into us very often." The noun turns the flow of time into a collection of separate, nameable events.
