Forwards (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
onward
'forwards' is the definition.
(I know that forwards can be written as onward)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for onward that I've seen before include "In front" , "Advancing (like Christian soldiers?)" , "Ahead" , "Forward in time" , "progressive" .)
