At this time; nowadays; in the present era or period (archaic form).
Compound of here (Old English her, meaning 'in this matter') and adays (from Old English o dag, meaning 'on day'). The adays suffix was used in archaic English to mean 'these days' or 'in these times,' as in 'nowadays.' This form is largely obsolete.
Words like 'hereadays' and 'nowadays' show how languages create adverbs by stacking time references—'now' (present) + 'adays' (days) merges them into one word, and English once did this playfully with 'here,' 'there,' and other location words too.
