To recur means to happen again, especially repeatedly or at regular intervals.
From Latin *recurrere* meaning ‘to run back, return’, from *re-* (back, again) + *currere* (to run). It originally described something coming back like a runner returning.
A recurring dream is one that ‘runs back’ into your sleep again and again. Recurring problems in life are often signals that something deeper still needs attention—you can’t just outrun them.
