Familiarise with new surroundings or circumstances (6)

I believe the answer is:

orient

(Other definitions for orient that I've seen before include "Align (relative to a specific direction)" , "Align; pearl" , "The East - got bearings" , "43 [POSITION]" , "The mystic East?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
