/ˈɪnwədz//ˈɪnwərdz/

The word "inwards" originated from the Old English word "inweard," which literally means "toward the inside." It is a combination of the preposition "in" and the adjective "weard," meaning "turned toward." Over time, "inweard" evolved into "inward" and then "inwards." The "s" at the end indicates a plural or a general direction, as in "the ship sailed inwards." Therefore, "inwards" essentially describes a movement or direction towards the inside of something.
