hin-

1. (stressed) Separable verbal prefix that indicates a movement or direction to a location that is not where the speaker is

   Antonym: her-

   ‎hin- + ‎fahren (“to drive”) → ‎hinfahren (“to drive there”)

   ‎hin- + ‎fallen (“to fall”) → ‎hinfallen (“to fall over, to fall down”)

   ‎hin- + ‎werfen (“to throw”) → ‎hinwerfen (“to throw (somewhere or towards someone who is not the speaker)”)

   ‎hin- + ‎sehen (“to see, to look”) → ‎hinsehen (“to look somewhere, to look (as opposed to looking away”)

2. (unstressed) Adverbial prefix that indicates a movement or direction to a location that is not where the speaker is

   Synonym: (colloquial) r-

   Antonym: her-

   ‎hin- + ‎unter (“below, under”) → ‎hinunter (“down (away from one's own location)”)

   ‎hin- + ‎über (“over”) → ‎hinüber (“across, over (to the other side)”)

While hin- is nominally the counterpart of her- and may require being exchanged for it depending on context, the prefix has lexicalized in some verbs and remains unchanged in them regardless of how it relates to the speaker's position, for example in hinfallen or the reflexive sense of hinziehen.
