oriented
Facing the right way
Oriented describes being aligned, positioned, or directed toward something specific.
A person who is career-oriented prioritizes professional advancement; a detail-oriented worker pays close attention to small things.
The word also indicates familiarity with one's surroundings or situation—someone who is oriented knows where they are and what's happening.
In physical contexts, oriented describes how something is positioned in space: The house is oriented toward the south for maximum sunlight.
