urgency
Need for haste
Urgency is the quality of requiring immediate attention or action.
An urgent matter presses for resolution now, not later: The urgency in her voice made me drop everything.
Urgency can be genuine—a medical emergency—or manufactured to pressure someone: Don't let the salesman's false urgency rush you into a decision.
