When we talk about recursion, we are referring to a process in which a function calls itself repeatedly until a condition is met. Similarly, the word "recurse" can be used as a synonym for this concept. However, if we want to vary our language, we can also use other synonyms like "iterate," "reiterate," or "loop." All of these words imply a repetitive action that occurs until a certain outcome is reached. In programming, "call a subroutine" or "invoke a function" can also be used in place of "recurse." Ultimately, the choice of synonym depends on the context and the audience, but having a range of words to choose from can help create variety in our writing.
