Definitions
the act of positioning close together (or side by side)
Word origin
Borrowed from French juxtaposition, from Latin iuxtā (“near”) (from Latin iungō (“to join”)) + French position (“position”) (from Latin pōnō (“to place”)).
Used in a sentence
“It is the object of the mechanical atomistic philosophy to confound synthesis with synartesis, or rather with mere juxtaposition of corpuscles separated by invisible interspaces.”
“Example: mother father instead of mother and father”
“Using juxtaposition for multiplication saves space when writing longer expressions. a#92;timesb collapses to ab.”
