After opening, is interactive with the East (6)
I believe the answer is:
orient
'east' is the definition.
(I know that east can be written as Orient)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orient that I've seen before include "Get one's bearings - to the East?" , "Determine position with regard to points of compass" , "The East - got bearings" , "Rising earlier" , "43 [POSITION]" .)
