2.To occur at a stated interval, or according to some regular rule; as, the fever will recur to-night.
3.To resort; to have recourse; to go for help. "If, to avoid succession in eternal existence, they recur to the "punctum stans" of the schools, they will thereby very little help us to a more positive idea of infinite duration."
