proximeadj.1

Forms: 1600s proxim, 1600s proximè, 1600s–1700s proxime.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin proximus.
Etymology: < classical Latin proximus nearest, superlative of prope near (see note). Compare Middle French proxisme nearest (of heirs) (a1475). Compare earlier proximely adv.Classical Latin prope derives from a stem with a final labiovelar, which has been assimilated to the initial labial (p- ), since a labiovelar cannot occur immediately before -r- ; this shows an assimilation opposite to that seen in quinque five (see quinque- comb. form), where the first consonant is assimilated to the second. Further etymology unknown.
Obsolete.
