single word requests - Less technical term to describe how often a recurring schedule repeats itself?

I've faced this problem many times!

the only solution is to remember that:

they will be seeing the 'question word' AND INDEED the 'selections' at the same time.

I find this to be critical in UI, these days, since everything is so tricky.

So my solution is:

Repeats ... < daily >< weekly >< monthly >

On ... < Monday >< Tuesday >< Friday >< Saturday >

SO, in a sense the answer is:

"Repeats" and "On"

Note that even if you don't dynamic it, it still looks good:

Repeats ... < daily >< weekly >< monthly >

On ... < Monday >< Tuesday >< Friday >< Saturday >< 1st >< 15th > .. etc

Hope it helps!

This is a very useful trick in such UI. Use the context of having both parts visible. After all, when writing you have "whole sentences" available to you, not just words. And it's analogous in this "on screen" problem.
