fore and aft

1. Nautical.
   1. From the bow of a ship to the stern; lengthwise.
   2. In, at, or toward both ends of a ship.
2. In or at the front and back.

Both front and back, everywhere, as in The children clung to the teacher fore and aft. This expression is nautical terminology for the bow, or front, and the stern, or back, of a vessel. Today it is also used more broadly. [First half of 1600s]
