To approach is to come closer in distance, time, or amount, or to begin to deal with something in a particular way.
From Old French "aprochier" meaning "to come nearer," based on Latin "appropiare" (to draw near). The word naturally expanded from physical closeness to mental and strategic closeness.
Every “approach” is really a choice about how to move toward a problem—cautiously, boldly, creatively. The word turns a simple movement into a style and strategy.
