upward

In a direction from lower to higher; toward a higher place; in a course toward the source or origin.

We ran upward.

Looking inward, we are stricken dumb; looking upward, we speak and prevail.

In the upper parts; above.

Dagon his name, sea monster, upward man, / And downward fish.

Yet more; indefinitely more; above; over.

From twenty years old and upward.

The upper part; the top.

From the extremest upward of thy head.

Directed toward a higher place.

with upward eye; with upward course

[…] economists should focus on efficiency and leave equity to others, to politicians or administrators. But the others regularly fail to materialize, so that when efficiency comes with upward redistribution—frequently though not inevitably—our recommendations become little more than a license for plunder.
