approaches
Methods or nears
Approaches names the methods or strategies for dealing with something: different approaches to teaching, a hands-on approach.
As a verb, to approach is to move toward something in space or time: Winter approaches, The car approached the intersection.
You approach a person to initiate contact, or approach a problem to begin working on it.
Approach also means to come close to without quite reaching: temperatures approaching ninety degrees.
