Vicinal for Dummies

Vicinal is a word that might not be familiar to everyone, but don't worry, we're here to explain it in a way that you will understand easily. So, imagine you are walking down a street and you see houses lined up one after another on both sides. That's what we mean by saying the houses are vicinal. It's like having neighbors who live very close to each other, just like those houses on the street.

Now, let's take that concept and apply it to something else. You know how when you look at your hand, you have fingers lined up next to each other? Well, those fingers are like vicinal because they are close together, just like the houses on the street.

But here's where it gets interesting. Vicinal can also mean something else. Imagine you have a fence in your backyard that separates your property from your neighbor's. Now, the parts of the fence that are closest to you and your neighbor's property are vicinal. They are like the closest points between you and your neighbor, just like the houses on the street.

So, to sum it all up, vicinal means things that are very close together, whether it's houses on a street or parts of a fence between neighbors. It's all about things that are in close proximity to each other. Remember, it's like having neighbors right next door or having fingers lined up on your hand.

I hope that explanation helps you understand what vicinal means. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
