The act or process of approaching or coming near to something.
From 'approach' + the suffix '-ment,' which forms nouns indicating an action, state, or result. This creates a formal noun for the process of drawing near.
Medieval and Renaissance writers used 'approachment' in diplomatic contexts to describe how nations moved toward peace negotiations—it was the formal term for getting closer to a deal.
