Formed by the productive suffix '-ward' added to 'out', yielding the straightforward meaning 'toward the outside'. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Outward comes from the simple parts out ('outside') and the direction part -ward ('toward'), like in forward. So to move outward is to move 'toward the outside', away from the center.
