proximally

/ˈpɹɑksəməɫli/ adv

In the proximal direction: reverse of distally

Word Origin Proximal means 'situated near the center or point of attachment,' and it comes from Latin proximus 'nearest.' Proximally is the adverb. The same root gives us proximity, approximate (to come near), and approximately. It's all about nearness.
