Admov

/ˈædmɒv/ verb

Definition

To move toward or bring near to something.

Etymology

From Latin admovere (ad- 'to' + movere 'to move'). This is a rare or archaic English verb derived directly from Latin, used primarily in historical or highly technical texts.

Kelly Says

Admov is so archaic that most modern English speakers have never encountered it—it's a ghost word, technically valid but practically extinct, replaced by 'move toward' in everyday language.
