I have a document using scrbook as document class. Somewhere during the text I would like certain words to have exactly the same font size as the section titles.

Consulting the documentation, I found out that for class options headings=big|normal the section title font size is Large, while for headings=small it is large.

How can I always have the proper font size in case I switch to headings=small without manually replacing all local font size declarations? In other words: how can I extract and transfer the current section title font size to some other text?

    Probably \usefontofkomafont{section}.

    You could use \usesizeofkomafont{section} if only the font size should be the same as for sections (but not the family, series, shape and all other settings as color etc.)

\documentclass[headings=small]{scrbook}

\newcommand*\fontsizeofsectionheadings{\usefontofkomafont{section}}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Test}
\section{chapter}
I need {\fontsizeofsectionheadings words} as {\fontsizeofsectionheadings big} as the section titles, even if \verb|headings=small|.
\end{document}
