o·ri·en·tate (ôr',,-,,n-t,,t', -ən-, ,,r'-) Pronunciation Key v. o·ri·en·tat·ed, o·ri·en·tat·ing, o·ri·en·tates determine one's position with reference to another point; "He . . . stood for a moment, orientating himself exactly in the light of his knowledge" (John le Carré). AND... o·ri·ent [n., adj. awr-ee-uhnt, ‑ee-ent, ohr-; v. awr-ee-ent, ohr‑] to adjust with relation to, or bring into due relation to surroundings, circumstances, facts, etc. ex, lectures designed to orient the new students.
Oh, a little more reading and you'll see that orient is more popular...
Kenneth G. Wilson (1923–). The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993. orientate, orient (vv.)
Both verbs, meaning literally “to locate east and so adjust to the compass directions” and figuratively “to adjust to circumstances or situation,” are Standard, but American commentators continue to object to orientate (used more frequently by the British), mainly because orient is shorter but also because the figurative use is outstripping the literal one.
Possibly "orientate" is a neologism, mistakenly derived from "orientation". Oh well,as for myself, being invested in the myriad delights of etymology, I will further investigate this matter for my own edification, but I'll probably keep saying "orientate" just to piss of the linguistical prescriptivists! HA!
