The origin of the word "east" is Old English "ēast" which derives from Proto-Germanic "austaz" (compare with Old Saxon "ōst", Old High German "ōstar", Old Norse " austr"). It was used to describe the direction towards where the sun rises.
Example sentences:
The sun rises in the east. (太阳在东方升起。)
The wind is blowing from the east. (风是从东方吹来的。)
We need to head east to reach our destination. (我们需要朝着东方走去到达目的地。)
