North

The direction on a compass that is at an angle of 0 degrees and points towards the North Pole, a primary cardinal direction. It is often considered to be 'up' on maps. Figuratively, it can signify a region, or the northernmost part of something. Further use can also describe direction or being situated in or towards that direction, and by extension can indicate a cold or harsh temperament. It's also used to identify something relating to that region, or more particularly from the North Pole. The term is derived from the Proto-Germanic *nurþaz.
