Directed toward, facing, or moving toward a gate.
From 'gate' plus '-ward' (suffix meaning direction or position toward), from Old English 'weard' meaning to guard or turn toward.
Medieval city planning often used 'gateward' positioning—buildings and streets were deliberately oriented toward gates for defensive and commercial purposes, creating radial urban patterns still visible in old European cities.
