The German word "richten" is a verb meaning "to direct," "to judge," or "to arrange." It can involve physically aiming or aligning something, making a decision in a legal context, or preparing/setting something properly.
Meaning of words the word is made of:
"Richten" itself is a root verb, so there are no smaller intrinsic parts (excluding prefixes such as "be-", "ver-").
