злободневный

Etymology edit

From зло́ба (zlóba, fury) +‎ -о- (-o-) +‎ днев- (dnev-, day) +‎ -ный (-nyj), based on the expression зло́ба дня́ (zlóba dnjá, something of acute current importance, literally the fury of the day), using the combining form of день (denʹ) (compare e.g. двухдне́вный (dvuxdnévnyj, lasting two days), дневно́й (dnevnój, day (relational))). A reference to Matthew 6:34, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof", meaning that there is enough trouble today (so one should not worry about tomorrow).
