† recuren.Origin: Of multiple origins. Apparently partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Apparently partly formed within English, by conversion. Etymons: recover n.; recure v. Etymology: Apparently partly (in α. forms) a contracted variant of recover n. (although this is first attested later), and partly (in β. forms) < recure v. (although this is first attested later).Some instances of the α. forms in Middle English could perhaps instead be interpreted simply as showing spellings of recover n. (with w or u for /v/), although not in all cases (compare the rhyme in quot. c1330).

Probably partly a borrowing from Latin. Probably partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: Latin recūrāre ; recover v.1 Etymology: Probably partly < classical Latin recūrāre to restore by medical treatment, cure, to restore (a thing) to its former condition, to treat by an additional process ( < re- re- prefix + cūrāre cure v.1), and partly a contracted variant of recover v.1 Compare earlier recure n.The two form types apparently became confused at an early date. In quot. a1382 at sense 1a, rekure (a form suggesting derivation < classical Latin recūrāre ) is used to translate classical Latin recuperāre (the ultimate etymon of recover v.1) rather than recūrāre , and a later version of the text uses recover v.1 in its place. Compare Anglo-Norman recure (third person singular present indicative), variant of recoverer recover v.1, but this may be a transmission error for recuvre . In the Anglo-Norman form recourir the u is probably to be read as a consonant (compare the form recovrir ). The Middle English forms rekowre , rekewre could perhaps instead be interpreted simply as showing spellings of recover v.1 (with w for /v/). Obsolete. 1. the world > health and disease > healing > heal or cure [verb (transitive)] > specifically a person or part the world > physical sensation > sleeping and waking > refreshment or invigoration > refresh or invigorate [verb (transitive)] the world > action or operation > amending > restoration > restore [verb (transitive)] a1382 (Douce 369(1)) (1850) Ecclus. ii. 6 Ȝif feith to God, and he shal rekure [a1425 L.V. rekeuere; L. recuperabit] thee. 1389 in J.
