southeastwards

/ˌsaʊˈθistwəɹdz/ adv

southeastward

Word Origin Southeastwards is the adverbial form of southeastward, with the -s suffix that often marks adverbs (like forwards, backwards). It comes from Proto-Germanic *sunthaz 'south' and *austrō 'east, dawn' — east originally meant 'toward the dawn.' The -wardaz suffix indicates direction. So southeastwards means 'in the direction of the dawn-south.' The PIE root *h₂ews- 'dawn' also gives us Easter and aurora.
