Now — soon (9)
I believe the answer is:
presently
This clue is a double definition.
'now' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'soon' is the second definition.
(I know that soon can be written as presently)
(Other definitions for presently that I've seen before include "Before long" , "Soon, in a little while" , "At the moment" , "In the near future" .)
