adjacent
意味: Next to or near something; sharing a boundary or border. In modern informal use, closely related or connected to something.
Adjacent traditionally means physically next to something (adjacent rooms, adjacent streets). In mathematics, adjacent angles or sides share a common point or line. In recent informal usage, especially online, 'adjacent' has come to mean 'closely related to but not exactly' (e.g., 'tech-adjacent,' 'science-adjacent'). This newer sense is increasingly common but remains informal. Common collocations include 'adjacent to,' 'adjacent rooms,' 'adjacent areas,' and the newer 'X-adjacent.'
