Frequentative

Aspect that indicates repeated action over multiple occasions or places; e.g. Finnish: ⟨sadella⟩ “to rain occasionally” (vs. ⟨sataa⟩ “to rain”); Hungarian: ⟨fizetget⟩ “to pay for a longer period with probably less intensity” (vs ⟨fizet⟩ “to pay”)

In grammar, a frequentative form (abbreviated freq or fr) of a word indicates repeated action but is not to be confused with iterative aspect. The frequentative form can be considered a separate but not completely independent word called a frequentative.
