Additions & Twists

Question

Start with a word.
For each line below, add one letter to the last word, then anagram, to get a word that means:

What word did I start as and what words did I become?

"anent", the archaic Scottish preposition, or is that a typo? — Rand al'Thor, Apr 14 '17 at 16:18
@DavidHuang The word from the prior line (or the initial word, for the first line). I probably should have said "previous" - sorry for the ambiguity. — Rubio, Apr 14 '17 at 18:40

The word you started with was

AT

The sequence is as follows:

TAR
DART

TARDO

TOWARD

OUTWARD

UNTOWARD

This matches up with the title because

AT also stands for "Additions & Twists" (thanks @BeastlyGerbil)

There's two good ways to know which of the two words you offered as first word is correct. – Rubio Apr 14 '17 at 18:41
How does your second word mean "fleet"? – Rand al'Thor Apr 14 '17 at 18:43
The first word was AT from Additions and Twists – Beastly Gerbil Apr 14 '17 at 18:46
@randal'thor In the same sense as an expression fleeting across someone's face. It's not the most common usage, but I think it's valid. – Carmeister Apr 14 '17 at 18:50
@BeastlyGerbil That's one of the two ways. There's another also, not that it's important. – Rubio Apr 14 '17 at 18:52
