adjective
Requiring immediate attention or action because delay would cause harm or make matters worse.
An urgent matter cannot simply wait its turn; it demands a quick response because the cost of delay is high, whether that means a medical emergency, a deadline slipping away, or a crisis needing an immediate decision. The word also describes a person's tone or manner when it is pressing and insistent rather than calm. Urgent business pushes everything else aside until it is dealt with.
