The origin of these words is Latin for east and is still used in Romance languages to indicate a compass direction.
In English:
.
"Oriental" is a less-used (and considered offensive by some) word describing a person or object with origins in the Asian continent. The more respectful term these days is "Asian".
"Orient", when used as a verb, means to identify one's location in relation to other features. Example:
"I stepped out of the building's entrance and took a moment to orient myself before heading in the direction of the plaza."

No,I don't think so. I thing the explanations from the native English speaker are more professional.

Wouldn't an online dictionary give you all the explanations that you need?

the first is an adjective and the second is a noun I guess...
