A prepositional particle primarily expressing direction toward a person, place, or thing.

In broader usage, it can mean 'into,' 'onto,' 'upon,' or, by extension, proximity ('near,' 'beside'). Furthermore, it is commonly used to introduce indirect objects ('to, for'), and in some constructions, it can signify situation 'with' or 'among,' or purpose or relation ('about, concerning, regarding').
