The cardinal directions are North, South, East, and West. Intermediate directions are those that are in between the cardinal directions. Examples include Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast.
The cardinal directions on the compass rose are North, South, East and West. The primary intermediate directions are those between two adjacent cardinal directions. They are Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. Directions between a cardinal direction and one of the four primary intermediate directions can also be named. For example, the direction between North and Northeast is North Northeast (as in "north of northeast"), and that between Northeast and East is East Northeast (as in "east of northeast").
They're called "ordinal directions": northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.
