A straightforward nominalization of the adjective 'current' with the productive suffix '-ness' meaning 'the quality of being current'.

Etymology

Currentness comes from current, which originally meant 'running', plus the ending -ness that means 'the quality of'. So currentness means the 'quality of being current', like a river's current that is the flow right now, which is why the word refers to belonging to the present time.
