Word origin

The word 'currently' is derived from the word 'current', which originally meant 'running or flowing'. The adverb form 'currently' emerged in the mid-19th century, combining the suffix '-ly' with 'current' to indicate something happening at the present time. Over time, 'currently' has become a commonly used adverb in English to describe actions or events that are happening now or at a specific time.
