Perhaps the 'near' part means that the power loss was not total?

I know what EFATO means, (my background is instructing, charter, and regional airline flying) but the “near” bit doesn’t make sense. Partial power loss and EFATO are different. I’ve never heard of anyone calling it a “near EFATO”. Partial power loss strangely often harder to manage as most people train for / expect the engine to completely stop if something goes wrong)
