Its a rough decription of non-exact closeness. As an example..

My Mom got nervous that I might damage something when I placed a cup in close proximity to my computer.

Derived from "proximate" or "near." Very often misused in sentences as above by saying that a cup was placed close near a computer would be better said "...when I placed a cup too close to my computer." "Close proximity" in a phrase is somewhat redundant and superfluous because "close" implies "near" as well.
