Word origin
The word 'towards' originated from the Middle English term 'toward,' which was a combination of the preposition 'to' and the Old English word 'weard,' meaning 'in the direction of.' Over time, the spelling evolved to 'towards' in the 16th century. The usage of 'towards' has remained consistent in English language, serving as a preposition and adverb to indicate direction and progress.
