proximity

proximity: [15] Latin proximus meant ‘nearest, next’ (it was the superlative form of an unrecorded *proqe ‘near’, a variant of prope, from which English gets approach and propinquity [14]). From it were formed the verb proximāre ‘come near’, ultimate source of English approximate [15], and the noun proximitās ‘nearness’, from which English gets proximity.

proximity (n.)

late 15c., from Middle French proximité "nearness" (14c.), from Latin proximitatem (nominative proximitas) "nearness, vicinity," from proximus "nearest, next; most direct; adjoining," figuratively "latest, most recent; next, following; most faithful," superlative of prope "near" (see propinquity).
