southeastern
Between south and east
Southeastern describes a position, direction, or region in the southeast—the area between south and east.
A southeastern wind blows from that direction.
The southeastern United States includes Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
The word functions identically to its compass-point relatives: northeastern, southwestern, northwestern.
