–noun 1. the Occident, a. the West; the countries of Europe and America.
b. Western Hemisphere.
2. (lowercase) the west; the western regions.
Asiatic
Usage Note: As with Oriental, the use of Asiatic in referring to the peoples and cultures of Asia sounds conspicuously dated in contemporary American English, tending to evoke the prejudicial and offensive stereotypes of an earlier era. The preferred ethnic term is now clearly Asian
