The word ‘currant’ has two primary meanings:
1. **Fruit**: A currant is a small, dried fruit made from certain varieties of grapes, particularly the Black Corinth grape. Currants are often used in baking, cooking, or as a snack. They can also refer to fresh berries from the Ribes genus, which includes black currants, red currants, and white currants.
2. **Flow**: In a different context, ‘currant’ can refer to a flow of water or air, especially in terms of currents in rivers or oceans.
The context in which the word is used usually makes it clear which meaning is intended.
