Outward
Definition:
(adv.) Alt. of Outwards
(a.) Forming the superficial part; external; exterior; -- opposed to inward; as, an outward garment or layer.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the outer surface or to what is external; manifest; public.
(a.) Foreign; not civil or intestine; as, an outward war.
(a.) Tending to the exterior or outside.
(n.) External form; exterior.
Example Sentences:
(1) The outward currents are sensitive to TEA and their reversal potentials differ.
