Its intended meaning is "skillful on both sides". However, since it keeps the Latin root dexter, which means "right", it ends up conveying the idea of being "right-handed at both sides". This bias is also apparent in the lesser-known antonym "ambisinistrous", which means "clumsy on both sides".[8]In more technical contexts, "sinistral" may be used in place of "left-handed" and "sinistrality" in place of "left-handedness...
