To draw near to; to approach or move closer to something.
From Medieval Latin 'appropinquare,' from Latin 'ad' (to) + 'propinquus' (near). This is a very formal or archaic way to say 'draw near.'
This ultra-fancy word means basically the same thing as 'approach,' but it's so ornate that it mostly survives in old religious texts describing how people 'appropinquate' the divine.
