sideward
In lateral direction
Sideward means toward the side, in a lateral direction rather than forward or backward: She took a sideward step to avoid the puddle.
The word functions as both adjective and adverb, though sideways is far more common in everyday speech.
Sidewards, with a final -s, is a variant.
