Common Mistakes
Learners often mistake the '-ward' suffix for an adverb only (like 'backward'), but in this context, it functions as a noun representing a specific vector or state.
Memory Tip
Break it down: 'Ad' (to/towards) + 'pulse' (the beat) + 'ward' (direction). It is the direction 'toward the beat'.
Word Origin
Constructed from Latin 'ad-' (to, toward) and 'pulsus' (a beating/pushing), combined with the English directional suffix '-ward'.
