Several have noted that words do change over time, sometimes retaining both meanings, sometimes obsoleting an older meaning. Example:

Presently (former sole meaning) = soon. George is presently going to San Francisco.

Presently (current, more frequent use) = now, in progress. George is presently going to San Francisco.

So, is George going to travel soon? Is George en route now? We need,
some context to determine what George is doing.
