Origin Old English ēast-, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch oost and German ost, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin aurora, Greek auōs 'dawn'. All of the words for compass points are Old English. East is from an ancient root shared by the Latin word for dawn, aurora (as in the aurora borealis (early 19th century), or northern lights). It is also related to Easter, another Old English word, which is probably connected with Ēastre, the name of a Germanic goddess associated with spring and the dawn. The title of the James Dean film East of Eden (1955) is taken from the Book of Genesis: ‘And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.’
