In the manner or direction of a chevron; arranged or oriented in a V-shaped pattern.
From chevron + -wise (suffix meaning 'in the manner of'), following the pattern of words like clockwise.
The -wise suffix is wonderfully productive in English—we can apply it to almost any noun to describe movement or arrangement, and chevronwise captures that V-shaped geometry perfectly.
