English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekdefinisie van leeward is die rigting waarin die wind waai of beweeg, spesifiek die kant of rigting weg waarvandaan die wind waai. Dit is die teenoorgestelde van windwaarts, wat verwys na die rigting of kant waaruit die wind kom. Leeward word dikwels gebruik in die konteks van seil of bootvaart, waar dit verwys na die windafkant van 'n vaartuig. Dit kan ook meer algemeen gebruik word om die beskutte of beskermde kant van 'n voorwerp of area te beskryf, in teenstelling met die blootgestelde of winderige kant.
