The clue comes from another edition of the British Quick Crossword. The clue is transversely, which doesn’t sound like any of the regular words that you hear. Regardless, we’ve come up with two potential answers for this one. To define transversely, it means to go across or to go at an angle.
The two answers we have for transversely
The first one we’ve come up with is ACROSS, which mixes well because it does mean to cross or go across a certain point. The other answer we have up our sleeves is ATHWART. That’s another word that you’re probably not familiar with.
Athwart means to cross side to side, so it mixes well with the going across section. Either of these two are good potential answers to the clue. It depends on the letter count needed. They mean the same thing either way; you look up athwart, and you will read that it means transversely all the same as well.
