Point in right direction: east (6)
I believe the answer is:
orient
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'point in right direction' is the first definition.
(to orient someone is to point them the right way)
'east' is the second definition.
(I know that east can be written as Orient)
(Other definitions for orient that I've seen before include "Asia" , "Face towards the East?" , "Countries east of the Mediterranean" , "London team" , "Adjust to surroundings" .)
