incidence
How often something happens
Incidence refers to the rate or frequency at which something occurs, especially in statistical or epidemiological contexts: the incidence of heart disease, a high incidence of fraud.
In physics, the angle of incidence is the angle at which a ray strikes a surface.
The word overlaps with incident but emphasizes occurrence patterns rather than individual events.
