expected at or planned for at a certain time

the baby's due in August

he is due back soon

talks are due to adjourn tomorrow

of the proper quality or extent

driving without due care and attention

one's right; what is owed to one

he thought it was his due

an obligatory payment; a fee

he had paid trade union dues for years

(with reference to a point of the compass) exactly; directly

we'll head due south again on the same road
