The word proximate is defined as immediate or nearest. The word is derived from the Latin word proximatus, which means drawn near. It also means close, near, adjacent or contiguous. The word proximate, when written with a capitalised letter P (namely Proximate) is defined as the rank that is one below the rank of Primate in the Orienite Church.
The Proximates do the majority of the work, including the routine day-to-day tasks, in the Orienite Church. They also serve the Orienite Church in the capacities of diplomats, philosophers, historians, researchers, preachers and administrators. They report directly to the Primate of the Orienite Church of their nation.
The word proximate is also defined as (something which is) closest in degree or order, in terms of space or time, especially in a chain of causes and effects. In other words, the word proximate is basically defined as very close in space or time.
