Etymology

The origin of the phrase 'close by' can be traced back to Middle English, where 'close' referred to a closed-in space or enclosure. Over time, the meaning evolved to signify proximity or nearness. The addition of 'by' emphasizes the idea of being nearby or adjacent to a specific location or object.
