Moving or directed forward in the normal direction of flow or progression, especially regarding bodily functions or motion.
From Latin 'ante-' (forward) and 'gradus' (step), literally meaning 'stepping forward,' used primarily in medical terminology.
Doctors use 'antegrade' to describe healthy forward movement—like blood flowing properly through veins—making it the medical word for 'everything's working the way it should.'
