英文詞源
- 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.
=> approximate - 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).
