People who come near to or move toward something or someone.
From Old French 'aprochier' (to come near), from Latin 'ad' (to) + 'prope' (near). The suffix '-er' indicates one who performs the action, and '-s' forms the plural.
The word 'approach' comes from the same root as 'apropos'—both derive from Latin 'prope' meaning near, which is why both words relate to getting close or being relevant to something.
