crossfield
Across the pitch
Crossfield describes movement or positioning that cuts across a field rather than along its length.
In sports, a crossfield pass travels laterally from one side to the other: The quarterback threw a crossfield pass to the wide receiver.
In aviation and engineering, crossfield refers to forces or components acting perpendicular to the primary direction of motion.
