Sinister
http://english.stackexchange.com/que...urrent-meaning
Sinister is the Latin word for left-handed. What evolution of meaning turned left-handed into evil and threatening?
*meaning *etymology *loan-words *latin
In the past, to be left-handed was considered touched by the Devil. As Wikipedia notes:
Historically, the left side, and subsequently left-handedness, was considered negative in many cultures. The Latin word sinistra originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era, and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister".
Does not apply to Phil Mickelson

Yup, in English Heraldry a stripe on your coat of arms originating on the left to right is 'Bar Sinister'...in Italian left is Sinastre....and in days gone by the Nuns would whack the lefties hands to get them to write right handed.
Man Dusty, we are some edumacted dudes.

Sir, it's actually sinistra.
Which can also be the feminine declination of the adjective sinistro ( sinister in english).
