Why this word is great

TRANSCUR — [Verb] To run or pass across, over, or through; to occur or transpire. From the Latin transcurrere, from trans ("across, over") + currere ("to run"). Unlike "transpire," which implies an event seeping into awareness, or "traverse," which is anchored to a deliberate crossing of terrain, to transcur is the quiet, unadorned fact of passage itself. It is the morning light transcuring the length of a dusty floorboard, the slow stain of daylight moving across a library floor, and a lifetime transcuring in the silent wear of a stone step—the world’s fundamental verb, a bare acknowledgment that things, simply and unstoppably, go by.

verb

To run or rove to and fro, to flit“For astonishment , it is caused by the fixing of the mind upon one object of cogitation , whereby it doth not spatiate and transcur, as it useth ; for in wonder the spirits fly not , as in fear ; but only settle , and are made less apt to move”
To transpire, to occur
