Answer 2

Answer:

Concept :

Oriental is opposed by occidental. Western is the opposite of oriental. When used as adjectives, oriental and occidental mean different things: oriental means eastern, of the east, of or belonging to the orient, notably Asia, but most often to the far east, while occidental means of, pertaining to, or situated in the occident, or west; western. The distinction between the words oriental and occidental is that oriental is a native of the East (capitalised), an Asiatic, a native, and a resident of the Orient, whereas occidental is a Western Christian of the Latin Rite.

Explanation:

• With regard to the Occident, the geographic location is the primary attribute of the Orient.
• The Latin phrase oriens, which means to grow, elevate, or give birth, is also the name's source.
• The sun rising on the celestial vault was described using these terms to denote the sunrise.
• Still used in English are names for the Orient that are as accurate, such as the collocations "Oriental studies" and "Oriental civilization" (now Asian Studies in some countries).
• Asian carpets, civilizations, peoples, nations, and items from the Orient have all been referred to as "Oriental" by Westerners. In most cases, "oriental" refers to the east.
