You're probably thinking "proximity", which is an English word meaning "nearby" or "close to", as in this phrase "in proximity to". The term was made a household word in World War Two, when the allied invention of the "proximity fuze" for anti-aircraft shells gave ground forces a potent weapon to defend against aerial attack.

It's not a proper English word. If you see it (in the US I expect) it's incorrectly written because the writer thinks it sounds like the word.

Did you mean: Proximity
the quality or state of being proximate : CLOSENESS

You probably mean proximity, which means low distance away or apart

I think you mean the word "proximity".
Maybe you thought about its pronunciation like in "aCCident"...
