Coming toward a particular place, especially traveling toward home or a central location.
From 'in' (Old English 'in') plus 'bound' (meaning traveling toward). Commonly used for transportation like flights, trains, and traffic.
Airlines use 'inbound' flights as technical jargon—the same flight can be 'outbound' from one city and 'inbound' to another, showing how perspective determines our directional language!
