Does anyone know whether the word frequent started off as a descriptor or a verb (or something else)? When did it come into use as the other? I got to thinking about this when I thought of how people say, "on another board I frequent", but I know it was used as a verb long before the internet. If it started out as a descriptor, I wonder whether there was dissention over verbing it, just like we do now over some things?
