Being near, aim (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
I believe this is a double definition.
'being near' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'aim' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Intend; unkind" , "Intend - miserly" , "intimate" , "Import" , "Signify; stingy" .)
