Etymology

The word 'Occidental' comes from the Latin word 'occidentalis', which means western. It has been used in English since the 14th century to refer to things related to the western parts of the world. The term is often contrasted with 'Oriental', which refers to the eastern parts of the world. 'Occidental' is commonly used in academic and cultural contexts to discuss Western culture, traditions, and people.
