1. Occident

   "Occident" is a term for the West, traditionally comprising anything that belongs to the Western world. It is the antonym of Orient, the Eastern world. In English, it has largely fallen into disuse. The term "occidental" is often used to describe objects from the Occident but can be considered an outdated term by some. The term originated with geographical divisions mirroring the cultural divide between the Greek East and the Latin West, and the political divide between the Western and Eastern Roman Empires.

It is often used in contrast to "Orient", which refers to Eastern countries. The dichotomy between Occident and Orient is often used as a cultural and geographical distinction.
