An archaic or dialectal form meaning 'not north' or pointing in a direction other than north; possibly obsolete.
From Old English 'an' (a, on) + 'north,' though the exact formation and meaning evolution is unclear. This appears to be a historical word with very limited usage.
'Anorth' is so archaic that even experts disagree about whether it was ever a common word or just appeared in isolated medieval texts—it's a reminder that for every common word like 'north,' there were probably rejected variants that sounded awkward and disappeared within a few generations.
