Definition
The direction halfway between north and east, or a region located in this direction relative to a reference point. Often refers to the northeastern United States as a geographical and cultural region.
Etymology
Compound of 'north' (from Old English 'norþ') and 'east' (from Old English 'east'), first recorded as a single word in the 14th century. The directional terms evolved from Germanic roots related to concepts of 'left' (north) and 'dawn' (east).
Kelly Says
The Northeast corridor of the United States contains the country's oldest cities and highest population density, creating a unique megalopolis stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. Interestingly, 'northeast' as a wind direction was crucial for sailing ships, as it often brought fair weather along the American coast.
