Morphology
outwards = outward (transparent) = out + ward + s
The formation is a clear directional derivation: 'out' + the directional suffix '-ward' (forming 'outward') with an adverbial/variant '-s' giving 'outwards', so the meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word outwards comes from out plus the part -wards, where -wards means 'in the direction of', as in forward or backward. So outwards means moving or facing 'toward the outside' or away from a center.
