It really doesn’t have anything to do with grouping or collection.

As a noun it usually refers to Eastern Asia or as a verb it means:

1. To locate or place in a particular relation to the points of the compass: orient the swimming pool north and south.

2. To locate or position so as to face the east.

3. To align or position with respect to a point or system of reference: oriented the telescope toward the moon; oriented her interests toward health care.

4. To determine the bearings of.

5. To make familiar with or adjusted to facts, principles, or a situation.

6. To focus (the content of a story or film, for example) toward the concerns and interests of a specific group.
