a word that simply means "eastern". It refers to anything or anyone from the "East". "Oriental" was first applied mainly to Mesopotamia, Persia and maybe India because those lands were east of the [Roman Empire]. Later on ancient China was found to be more than a myth and so the previous "Orient" became known as the "Near" or "Middle" East and East Asia was now tagged as the "Orient" or the "Far East". Because of the [geography] the term "Oriental" came to be applied to the cultural aspects, the peoples and other things from the "Far East". [Of course], "Western" is used to refer to anything or anyone from Europe, North America and such.
