1. Primarily, to meet; to strike against; to clash; and so used by Bentley, but this application is obsolete.
2. To meet or come to the mind; to be presented to the mind, imagination or memory. We say, no better plan occurs to me or to my mind; it does not occur to my recollection; the thought did not occur to me.
