Solution

$H_{3} C - C H_{2} - O - C H_{2} - C H | - C H_{3}$
$O H$
First chose the longest chain, i.e. propane in the above case.
$⟶$ Number the chain with the highest prior group get the smallest number.
$⟶$ Here $- O H$ will get $2$ number from each end. So numbering will start from the other functional group i.e. $O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$ .
The naming will be $1 - e t h o x y p r o p a n - 2 - o l$
