recurrently
Over and over
Recurrently means happening repeatedly or coming back at intervals.
Something that occurs recurrently keeps returning: The dream recurrently troubled her sleep.
The word emphasizes a pattern of return rather than simple repetition—problems recurrently surface, themes recurrently appear in an author's work, symptoms recurrently flare.
