What does the prefix Curr mean?

Answer 1

A number of English words begin with curr. For example, the word currant is derived from the name of the place where they came from, Corinth. But current is a flow of water, or something that is ongoing now. We can therefore see that curr- is not necessarily a prefix. However, * currentis from Latin currens, from curro, to flow or run * curriculum (the whole course of study in a school, college or university) is from Latin curriculum, a race course; a place for running; a chariot etc, from L. curro, to run * cursor is from Latin cursor, a runner * courier (a messenger) is from French courrier, from courir, to run, from Latin curro to run * course is also from L. curro, to run
