recently
In the near past
Recently means not long ago, within the near past.
The exact timeframe depends on context—recent history might span decades, while I just saw her recently suggests days or weeks.
The word often introduces new information: Scientists recently discovered a new species.
It pairs naturally with present perfect tense: Have you seen any good movies recently?
