释义
'Outward' describes something going away from the center or toward the outside. It can also refer to what can be seen or appears on the outside, not necessarily the true nature inside.
用法与细微差别
Mostly used as an adjective and sometimes as an adverb ('outward appearance', 'outward movement'). Often contrasts with 'inward'. In formal contexts, can imply surface-level qualities, not actual character. Less common as an adverb in everyday speech.
