You can say either 'northeast' or 'eastnorth' and be grammatically correct. Although it is most common to say 'northeast', in older times both 'eastnorth' and 'northeast' were used. The phrase 'eastnorth' just got lost in history and in the English language.

∙ 13y agoPicture it this way. If you divide a circle, or a compass, into quarters, you get the four cardinal directions: north, east, south, and west.
If you then divide those quadrants in half, the midpoints become the ordinal directions: northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest.
But nothing says you have to stop there. For example, if you split the difference between true east and northeast, you end up facing the direction of east northeast.
The linked image below, of a compass rose, will help you visualize this if you're still having trouble.
