recency

State of freshness

Recency is the quality of being recent—how lately something occurred.

The word appears most often in technical contexts: in psychology, the recency effect describes how people remember items at the end of a list better than those in the middle; in marketing, recency measures how recently a customer made a purchase.

The recency of the data makes it more reliable.
