Read a random definition: conscious-presence test

A quick definition of proxenete:

Proxenete: A person who helps two parties make a deal or an agreement. They can also be someone who helps arrange marriages.

Proximate: Something that is very close in time or space, either right before or after.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Proxenete (pronounced prok-suh-neet) is a term used in Roman and civil law. It refers to a person who negotiates or arranges the terms of a contract between parties, like a broker. In Greek culture, it also refers to a person who negotiates marriages, like a matchmaker.

Examples: A real estate agent is an example of a proxenete in the first sense. They negotiate the terms of a contract between a buyer and a seller. In Greek culture, a person who arranges a marriage between two families would be considered a proxenete.

Explanation: The term proxenete can refer to different types of negotiators, depending on the context. In both cases, the proxenete is someone who helps two parties come to an agreement. The examples illustrate how a real estate agent and a matchmaker both act as intermediaries between two parties to negotiate a deal.

Definition: Proximate (pronounced prok-suh-mit) is an adjective that describes something that is immediately before or after something else. It can also refer to something that is very near or close in time or space.

Examples: An example of something proximate in time would be a deadline that is coming up soon. An example of something proximate in space would be a house that is located very close to a park.

Explanation: The term proximate is used to describe things that are in close proximity to each other, either in time or space. The examples illustrate how something can be considered proximate based on its relationship to something else.
