Extrorse

Extrorse is an adjective that means turned outward.  The Latin adverb extrorus (ex TROR sus) means outwards. Our word of the day has turned itself toward the English language since the mid-19th century and holds the same basic meaning as its ancestor. Example: With the lights extrose, our backyard looked pretty cool to those passing by. But to anybody wanting to see where they were going, it might have been a better idea to turn the lights inward.
