Etymology of ORIENTATING
The word "orientating" is derived from the word "orientate", which is a variant of the verb "orient". "Orient" originated from the Latin word "oriens" which means "east", as it originally referred to the direction of the rising sun in the east. Over time, "orient" also came to be associated with the concept of getting one's bearings or finding direction, hence its use in the context of orienting oneself or orienting something/someone towards a specific direction or goal. The addition of the suffix "-ate" forms the verb "orientate", and the "-ing" ending then creates "orientating" as its present participle form.
