The west (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

occident

'the west' is the definition.
(as opposed to the orient, the east)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for occident that I've seen before include "West End?" , "Europe and America" , "The West as opposed to Orient" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
