Proselytize: (verb). To attempt to persuade or convince someone to follow what you do. To recruit someone to a new religion, practice or belief system. (Often followed by “to.”)
Examples:
Anton proselytized to me for months about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and now I am a true fan.
The engineer proselytized her idea for building a new bridge across the river for months, and the community finally welcomed it.
When to Use Recur and Reoccur
Single events may reoccur. They are unexpected.
Examples:
Hannah was diagnosed as cured last year; however, her tuberculosis has reoccurred.
She lost her house in a fire two years ago; who would have thought this tragedy would reoccur.
Something that happens regularly (or as part of a cycle) recurs. They are expected.
Examples:
Aunt Millie’s visit recurred every Thanksgiving when I was a child.
A total solar eclipse was last seen in 2017; the next one is scheduled to recur in April this year.
