propinquity

It’s what researchers call “propinquity,” being in proximity to others.

I don’t know anyone else who yodeled and yee-hawed with as much ease, even as he wrote songs titled “Propinquity” and “Grand Ennui.”

Only if the paper is in the middle zone is the pull of propinquity going to matter.

We had similar problems throughout the Vietnam War because of Vietnam’s propinquity to China, which along with the Soviet Union provided continuous support to the North Vietnamese, including most of the weapons used against us on the battlefield.

Clearly this propinquity was Merrell’s solace.
