Definition
In appearance or on the surface; the way something looks from the outside rather than its true inner nature.
Etymology
From English 'outward' (from Old English 'ūtweard,' combining 'ūt' meaning out and 'weard' meaning direction), plus '-ly.' Literally means 'toward the outside.'
Kelly Says
The distinction between outward appearance and inward reality obsessed Victorian literature—novels like 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' explored how someone could appear beautiful and respectable while being morally corrupt inside, a theme that still drives modern psychological thrillers.
