actualidad
/aɡtwaliˈdad/ · B2 · noun · f
present
📰 actual-idad = actual (real, current in Spanish) + -idad, so the real now
Spanish actual means current, not actual. Add -idad (like English -ity) and you get actualidad: the current state of things. This is why it also means current events or news. Careful: it is not actuality in the sense of reality.
