What do the greek root word -curs means?

The Greek root word "-curs" actually comes from the Latin root word "currere", which means "to run" or "to flow".

It is often used to describe the act of moving or progressing, as in:

* Concurrent: happening at the same time

* Incur: to bring upon oneself

* Recourse: a source of help or support

* Occur: to happen or take place

* Concur: to agree or be of the same opinion

So, while "-curs" itself is not a Greek root word, it's a Latin root word that has a lot of significance in English and other languages. It helps to understand the meaning of words when you can identify their roots.
