The term MOVES TOWARD can be expressed in two different ways: NEARS (5 letters) and GRAVITATES (10 letters). NEARS means to move closer to something, while GRAVITATES means to be drawn towards something due to a force of attraction. Both terms imply that an object or person is moving in the direction of another object or person. This could be due to physical forces such as gravity, or it could be due to a desire to be near someone or something.
