westernly
This term is primarily used in meteorological and nautical contexts to describe the direction of wind or movement. While "west" is a general direction and "western" typically refers to a region or culture (e.g., western civilization), "westernly" specifically emphasizes the vector of motion or the origin of a breeze.
In modern usage, it is often interchangeable with "westerly." However, "westernly" is less common in contemporary American English than "westerly," which has become the standard adjective and adverb for wind direction.
