Word origin

The word 'approaches' originated from the Old French word 'aprochier', which came from the Late Latin word 'appropiare', meaning 'to come near'. Over time, the word evolved in Middle English to 'approchen' before eventually becoming 'approaches' in Modern English. The concept of different methods or ways of doing something has been associated with the word since the 17th century.
