Etymology

From 'arctic' combined with '-ward' suffix (from Old English 'weard' meaning 'direction' or 'toward'). Indicates direction or movement toward the Arctic.

Kelly Says

The '-ward' suffix shows direction—'forward' means toward the front, 'backward' toward the back, and 'arcticward' toward the Arctic! We also have 'skyward' and 'homeward.'
