The term '[[extimacy]]' ([[French]]: ''[[extimitè]]'') was coined by [[Jacques Lacan]] by combining the prefix 'ex' (from ''exterieur'' or 'exterior') to the [[French]] word ''intimitè'' ('intimacy').
The [[structure]] of [[extimacy]] is perfectly expressed in the [[topology]] of the [[torus]] and of the [[moebius strip]].
 
== Another Example ==
Lacan goes beyond Freud.
 
Not a beyond Freud which leaves Freud behind; it is a beyond Freud which is nevertheless in Freud.
 
Lacan is looking for something in Freud's work of which Freud himself was unaware.
 
Something which we may call "extimate," as it is so very intimate that Freud himself was not aware of it.
 
So very intimate that this intimacy is extimate.
 
It is an internal beyond.
