Exigency

noun/EK-si-jun-see/

Meaning

An exigency is an urgent situation that needs quick action or attention.

In context

The captain kept calm during every exigency of the long, hard match.

Remember it

Exigency sounds like 'urgency' with an X — an urgent moment that demands action now.

Use it well

Use exigency in formal writing for a pressing demand or emergency, not for minor problems.
