The word "approximate" originates from the Latin verb "approximare," which means "to come near" or "to approach." It is a combination of the prefix "ad-" meaning "to" and "proximus," meaning "nearest." The term entered Middle English in the late 15th century, retaining its sense of closeness or nearness in relation to accuracy or exactness.
