Toward the grass or in the direction of grassy ground.
From 'grass' combined with the Old English suffix '-ward' or '-wards' (meaning toward or in the direction of), used to indicate direction or movement. This archaic formation follows the pattern of directional adverbs.
Grasswards is an almost extinct word that shows how English used to create direction words for everything—skywards, seawards, homewards—but grasswards never quite caught on, making it a linguistic fossil of medieval English.
