A near miss?

When two airplanes almost collide why do they call it a near miss?? It sounds like a near hit to me!!

Answer #1

rnealw, Meaning of “near” is “close, narrow.” That’s the definition behind terms such as “near relative” (a close relative), “near escape” (a narrow escape) and, yes, “near miss.” So a “near miss” is a miss that came very close to being a hit, while a “far miss” is a miss that wasn’t even close.
