frequentative

In grammar, a frequentative form (abbreviated freq. or fr.) of a word is one that indicates repeated action. The frequentative form can be considered a separate but not completely independent word called a frequentative. The frequentative is no longer productive in English, but it still is some languages, such as Finno-Ugric languages (Finnish or Hungarian), Balto-Slavic (Lithuanian, Russian and Polish), Turkic etc.,
