[Ads-l] Dialogue: Rizzoli & Isles

[Wilson Gray]

"Maybe it's *not* murder. But, it's _murder-adjacent_."

It seems to me that I've come across this "[...]-adjacent" construction in
jargonic writing in some field or other. Or maybe it was in the NYT or in
the NY-er.

Does it ring a bell with anyone else?
