Christian Chesnot has written: 'Orient-Occident, le choc?'
"The Far East", "The Orient." Orient means East; Occident means West. Oriental means Easterner; Occidental means Westerner.
The terms have been used interchangeably since man has been trading with the Orient (East). Some of the terms have been, thru-out history: Far East, Far Orient, the Orient, the East, etc. The Occident (West) for unknown reasons, has seldom been used when describing the "West." Possibly it was because the one sylable word "West" was easier for seamen to pronounce (and write) than the three sylabled word "Occident." A good majority of merchant seamen (minus the captain and his officers) couldn't read or write...for men like those, "West" beats "Occident" any day.
Pertaining to the West (typically European culture). Antonym of 'oriental'.
