Literary notes about proximo (AI summary)

The word "proximo" functions primarily as an indicator of the upcoming or immediately following time period or event. In many texts, it is used to denote a specific date or session that is "next" in the sequence—for instance, indicating that a meeting is scheduled for the 1st proximo ([1], [2], [3], [4]). In Latin contexts, it also conveys a sense of nearness or immediacy to a person or location, as seen when it highlights close relationship or proximity ([5], [6]). Moreover, in both legal and ecclesiastical discourses, the term serves as a precise chronological marker that effectively differentiates present occurrences from those to come, such as in the scheduling of ceremonies or the expiration of deadlines ([7], [8]). Overall, its usage encapsulates a succinct way of pointing to the next temporal or spatial point of reference.
