Origin & History

From Latin proximate/proximatus via Middle French/Latin influence, from proximus (“nearest”), related to prope (“near”).

Definition

In a way that is very close or immediately preceding/following; used especially in formal or scientific contexts to mean ‘near’ rather than ‘exact.’
