Rightward is an adverb used to describe movements or directions towards the right-side of a person or object. However, there are several synonyms that convey the same meaning as rightward but may be used interchangeably depending on the context. These include terms such as dextra, starboard, sinistrorsal, and dextrorotatory. While dextra and starboard are commonly used to refer to the right-side of a ship, sinistrorsal denotes a leftward spiral or motion. And, dextrorotatory is a term employed in a scientific context, meaning rotating clockwise. Despite these variations, all these synonyms represent the idea of moving, facing or turning to the right.
