nearabout
More or less
Nearabout means nearly or approximately, used in some regional American dialects, especially in the South and Appalachia: It's nearabout time to go, We've been waiting nearabout an hour.
The word combines near and about, both of which can mean approximately on their own.
It remains informal and dialectal rather than standard.
