onwards
Continuing from here
Onwards means forward in time, space, or progress—continuing from a point toward what comes next.
From that day onwards, everything changed.
It often pairs with a starting point: From Monday onwards, the new rules apply.
Onwards is interchangeable with onward, though onwards is more common in British English.
The phrase onwards and upwards expresses optimism about continued progress.
