Adjektiv

derzeitig

current, present

Die derzeitige Situation ist kompliziert.

The current situation is complicated.

Mein derzeitiger Chef ist sehr nett.

My current boss is very nice.

[Adjective] + [Noun] current ... Die derzeitige Situation ist kompliziert.

Synonyms: aktuell, gegenwärtig, momentan; Antonyms: ehemalig (former), früher (earlier)

Composed of 'derzeit' (at the present time) and the adjectival suffix '-ig'. 'Derzeit' originates from 'der Zeit', meaning 'of the time'.

Break it down: 'der Zeit' -> 'of the time'. The '-ig' makes it an adjective, so 'of-the-time-ly' or 'current'.
