The term "northeast" does not belong in the list because it is a combination of two cardinal directions (north and east), while the other terms—"east," "southeast," and "southwest"—are single cardinal directions or combinations of one cardinal direction with another. Thus, "northeast" stands out as the only term that is a distinct intermediate direction.
