\Cur"rent*ness\, n.
1. The quality of being current; currency; circulation;
   general reception.

2. Easiness of pronunciation; fluency. [Obs.]

         When currentness [combineth] with staidness, how can
         the language . . . sound other than most full of
         sweetness?                            --Camden.
