indoors
Away from elements
Indoors means inside a building, as opposed to outside in the open air: Let's move the party indoors before it rains.
The word functions as both adverb and adjective: We stayed indoors all day, an indoor pool.
Indoor and indoors are largely interchangeable, though indoor typically precedes nouns while indoors stands alone.
