The phrase "more onward" is not commonly used as a standalone word or phrase. "More" and "onward" are independent words with separate origins and meanings.
- The word "more" comes from the Old English word "māra" which means "greater" or "additional". It has evolved over time to retain the same meaning in Modern English.
- "Onward" is derived from the Old English word "onweard", which is a combination of "on" meaning "in a particular position or direction" and "weard" meaning "toward". It signifies moving forward or progressing.
However, if you are referring to the phrase "onward and upward", it is commonly used to express the idea of progressing, advancing, or moving forward in life. The phrase combines the directionality of "onward" with the idea of aspiring upwards.
