Summary: The Latin root word *curr* means "run." This Latin root is the word origin of a number of English vocabulary words through which it "runs," including [*curr*]ency, [*cur*]sor, and [*curr*]iculum. The root *curr* is easily recalled via an ocean [*curr*]ent, which "runs" by itself since it is surrounded by waters that are relatively still.
