courant
Old baroque dance
Courant is an archaic or literary word meaning running or flowing, now surviving mainly in the phrase au courant—up to date or informed about current affairs: She keeps au courant with industry trends.
Historically, courant named a lively dance with running steps, popular in the 17th century, and appears in the titles of old newspapers to suggest currency of news.
