#but i cant find nothing abt how currency got to mean “in present” and “money format” on top of its original “running/forward motion”

NOT WHAT I ASKED, GOOGLE
#please i wrote about this before but forgot to post i think#does anyone know a search engine that actually searches your keywords not this faux semantic search stuff 😭#i thought duckduckgo was supposed to give direct results but it just gives the exact same results#I HATE IT I HATE SEMANTIC SEARCH KEYWORD SEARCH UNDERSTOOD SEMANTICS BETTER#you used to get to choose exactly what you were searching not just be forwarded to a general category of topics#the “ ” doesnt work anymore either#are there any good keyword engines left guys pls😭#also yeah in recent years ive naturally come to love etymology these days ill often search the etymology of a word rather than its definitn#it helps my mind achieve better comprehension and more consistent and nuanced expression i think#but i cant find nothing abt how currency got to mean “in present” and “money format” on top of its original “running/forward motion”#maybe running/flowing as in the ongoing moment? thus the association of current with presence? i guess thats pretty self explanatory#and i guess it doesnt rly matter why current came to refer to inanimate fluids and run to creature locomotion#but how it came to be associated with the concept of an agreed trade credit format seems important to my instincts fsr#like there was a poetic connection there that would be good to remember#maybe...#well thats what im trying to learn i need a search engine pls😭
