Chapelward

/ˈtʃæpəlwərd/ adverb

Definition

Toward a chapel; in the direction of a chapel.

Etymology

From chapel plus -ward (from Old English -weard, meaning 'direction toward'), as in 'toward,' 'homeward,' or 'skyward'.

Kelly Says

The -ward suffix is ancient and creates directional words—your 'homeward' journey and 'forward' movement use the same Anglo-Saxon word-building tool people used a thousand years ago.
