arrowing
Moving with purpose
Arrowing describes movement that is swift, straight, and direct—like an arrow in flight.
A bird may go arrowing across the sky, or a thought may come arrowing into consciousness.
The word emphasizes speed and linear trajectory, often with a sense of piercing through space toward a target.
