east

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the orient' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'teas' is the wordplay.
'teas' can be anagrammed to 'EAST'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "Compass direction" , "Tom's schoolfellow" , "On most maps it's right!" , "Bearing of ninety degrees" , "To right if facing North" .)
