Definition of the word <b>approximately</b>

Origin of the word approximately

"Approximately" comes from the Latin words "ad" (to) and "proximus" (nearest). The word originally meant "to bring near," but evolved to refer to something being close in value or quantity. It first appeared in English in the 16th century as "approximated," with "approximately" becoming popular in the 19th century. Today, we use it to denote an estimation or a value that is close to, but not exactly, the true figure.
