unidirectionally
In one direction
In one direction only, without reversal or reciprocation.
The term appears in technical contexts—data flowing unidirectionally through a system, signals transmitted unidirectionally from source to receiver.
The valve allows fluid to move unidirectionally.
Information passes unidirectionally from DNA to RNA to protein.
