Nearness (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

proximity

'nearness' is the definition.
(proximity is a kind of nearness)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for proximity that I've seen before include "Closeness" , "Neighbourhood" , "Nearness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Thinks.com, The Times, The Telegraph and The Washington Post.
