Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb occurrere, meaning 'to run to meet, befall, or present itself', formed from ob- ('towards') and currere ('to run'). Entered the English language in the late 16th century, shifting from the physical sense of meeting or running into something to the abstract meaning of an event or happening.
