The East (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orient

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">the east</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('orient' can be a synonym of 'east')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for orient that I've seen before include "Determine position with regard to points of compass" , "East; align" , "Determine (one's position) with reference to another point" , "Establish one's position" , "Acquaint with position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, the Evening Standard and the Sydney Morning Herald.
