Word Origin & History

frequent 
1531, from L. frequentem (nom. frequens) "crowded, repeated," of uncertain origin. The v. (1477) is from L. frequentare "visit regularly." Frequency (1551) came to be used 1831 in physics for "rate of recurrence," especially of a vibration. In radio electronics, frequency modulation (1922, abbreviated F.M.) as a system of broadcasting is distinguished from amplitude modulation (or A.M.).
