Obscurity currently present (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nowhere

'obscurity' is the definition.
(nowhere is a kind of obscurity)

'currently present' is the wordplay.
'currently' becomes 'now' (I've seen this in other clues).
'present' becomes 'here' ('here' can be similar in meaning to 'present').
'now'+'here'='NOWHERE'

(Other definitions for nowhere that I've seen before include "unlikely to be found?" , "Neither here nor there?" , "impossible to locate?" , "Nonexistent place" , "Utopia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
