o.k. approximentally means
Just about
Not quite that number...it could be one or two or even three away...now thats dealing say with a large number.
So say a farmer had a buyer for all his cows.
He hadn't the time to count all....but last time he thought it was say 100....but?...one or two may have died?..so he would say
'approximentally''
Because it really was not a need to give an exact answer, as in this math...
Its a word use for things that can-stand -to loose one or two-or even three of its numbers
to give a count, for that time.Later it can br resolved...when the sale go's thru.
Or even in a case of needing to know...how many people will be over for a big B.B.Q.....you can say app/30....and if its 28, makes no difference.....as you always buy more meat....to make up for people....Its not an exact math...just a guide line for somethings .

Its means "about"
Example : "It is approximentally three o'clock" Meaning it is about three o'clock

It's not even a word.
"APPROXIMATELY" means about, close to, nearly, roughly and around.
