Outward


Definition:

  • (adv.) Alt. of Outwards
  • (a.) Forming the superficial part; external; exterior; -- opposed to inward; as, an outward garment or layer.

  • (a.) Foreign; not civil or intestine; as, an outward war.
  • (a.) Tending to the exterior or outside.
  • (n.) External form; exterior.

Example Sentences:

  • (14) With the same protocol a diminished transient outward current was measured.
  • (15) The top of the fence can also be manipulated in certain ways such as including curvature outward at the top of the fence to make scaling it much more difficult for most.” Some critics, including Washington DC congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, have warned against excessive fortification, but the report argues: “We recognise all the competing considerations that may go into questions regarding the fence, but believe that protection of the President and the White House must be the higher priority.” “Every additional second of response time provided by a fence that is more difficult to climb makes a material difference in ensuring the President’s safety and protecting the symbol that is the White House.” The panel also urges that a new head of secret service, to replace ousted head Julia Pierson, be brought in from outside the agency, ensuring it is better staffed and trained in future.
