Apropiat is the past participle of the verb a apropia, meaning to bring near or draw close. That verb is built on aproape, the Romanian word for near, which descends from Latin prope with the same meaning. The participle came to double as an ordinary adjective, and later as a noun for a person who stands close to someone.
