==Names of compass points==
In some languages, [[points of the compass]] bear names etymologically derived from words for sunrise and sunset. The English words "[[orient]]" and "[[Western world|occident]]", meaning "east" and "west", respectively, are descended from Latin words meaning "sunrise" and "sunset". The word "levant", related e.g. to French "''(se) lever''" meaning "lift" or "rise" (and also to English "elevate"), is also used to describe the east. In [[Polish language|Polish]], the word for [[east]] ''wschód'' (''vskhud''), is derived from the [[morpheme]] "ws" – meaning "up", and "chód" – signifying "move" (from the verb ''chodzić'' – meaning "walk, move"), due to the act of the Sun coming up from behind the horizon. The Polish word for [[west]], ''zachód'' (''zakhud''), is similar but with the word "za" at the start, meaning "behind", from the act of the Sun going behind the horizon. In [[Russian language|Russian]], the word for west, ''запад'' (''zapad''), is derived from the words ''за'' – meaning "behind", and ''пад'' – signifying "fall" (from the verb ''падать'' – ''padat'''), due to the act of the Sun falling behind the horizon. In Hebrew, the word for east is 'מזרח', which derives from the word for rising, and the word for west is 'מערב', which derives from the word for setting.
