Recurrent is an adjective that qualifies what happens again after having already happened before. It consists of the repetition of an episode previously observed, but which usually happens periodically.
In the legal field, the appellant is the one who appeal of a decision or court order. For this, this person must file an appeal to challenge (invalidate) the result initially rendered.

On the other hand, whoever wishes to defend the initial answer given by the judge (known as "appealant"), must present counter-arguments to the appellant's appeal.
From a medical point of view, the word recurrent is often used to refer to a disease that returns to its original stage. In this way, the symptoms present themselves in a cyclic and constant way.

Recurring and arising
Both words exist in the Portuguese language, but with different meanings.
As said, recurrent refers to something that happens again, that is, that repeats itself. Already arising consists of what happened, but which remained in the past, not repeating itself in the future. It can also represent something that originated as a consequence of something.
