westwards
This term describes direction or orientation toward the west. While it functions as both an adverb and an adjective, it is most frequently used as an adverb to describe the movement of a person, object, or weather system. It is largely interchangeable with "westward," though the version ending in "s" is significantly more common in British English than in American English.
As an adjective, it typically precedes the noun it modifies to indicate a destination or a specific orientation, such as a "westwards expansion." The word maintains a neutral, descriptive tone suitable for both formal geographical reports and casual conversation.
