What is the definition of a recurve bow?
Searching on wikipedia will give a more thorough answer than mine, but here are the basics... A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung, when it is strung, it keeps that distinctive curve and also gives more power in the draw when shot. Recurves were used especially by Mongolians and other horse-archers because their bows were short for portability and manouvering but were recurved to give them strength and tension when drawn for a powerful shot.

How does a recurve work?
if you are asking about a re-curve bow: When strung and held properly, the bow curves towards the holder then, at the top and bottom, the bow has a sharp bend away, towards the target. When unstrung, the bow is bent entirely towards the target, which leads many people to improperly string, and sometimes break re-curve bows. This design gives the bowstring more tension which in turn gives the arrow more force. Sorry if you were asking about something other than a re-curve bow.
