"Prox" is a shortened form of the word "proximo", meaning "in or of the next month after the present". It's often used in business contexts to indicate payment terms, where "Net 10th Prox" means that payment is due on the 10th of the next month after the invoice date.
"Prox" can also refer to "proximity", meaning nearness or closeness, especially in gaming or technology where it might relate to being near a specific object or action.
Here are some examples of how "Prox" can be used:
- Invoice: A payment term of "Net 10th Prox" indicates that payment is due on the 10th of the month following the invoice date.
- Gaming: In video games, "prox" can mean being within range of an ability or attack. For example, a player might say "I'm in prox of the boss" to indicate they are close enough to attack it.
- Technology: "Prox" can also be used in technology to refer to the proximity of devices, such as when two devices are close enough to communicate wirelessly.
While "Prox" is often used in informal contexts, its meaning generally refers to either the next month or nearness in space.
