1803J. Barclay New Anatomical Nomencl. 165–6 The new terms by a change of termination, may be used adverbially..Dextrad will signify towards the dextral aspect. 1882Wilder & Gage Anatom. Technol. 27 Barclay proposed that the various adjective forms should be converted into adverbs by substituting for the ending -al the letters -ad, the Latin equivalent of the English -ward.
