Word Of The Day.... 'sinistrality' And Origin by Researchclue: 9:36am On Aug 13, 2020 |
Word Of The Day.... Sinistrality; left-handedness. Sentence; Kermit’s sinistrality leapt right off the page at me as soon as I saw the photograph of him with Bret McKenzie that accompanies Adam Sternbergh’s feature in this week’s magazine. WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF SINISTRALITY? There is nothing sinister about sinistrality: the word simply means “left-handedness” (as opposed to right-handedness) or “left-sidedness.” Sinistrality is a derivation of the adjective sinistral, whose current sense is “on the left-hand side, left” (in Middle English sinistralle meant “unlucky, adverse”). Sinistrality entered English in the mid-19th century. #WeAreProudOfYouTacha
