cyclicity
Nature of repetition
Cyclicity is the quality of occurring in cycles or repeating at regular intervals.
The term appears most often in technical and scientific contexts, describing phenomena that follow predictable patterns of recurrence.
Economists discuss the cyclicity of markets, biologists examine the cyclicity of hormonal fluctuations, and geologists study the cyclicity of sedimentary deposits.
The cyclicity of her migraines made them easier to anticipate.
