- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary gaucherie|gauchement|left|gauchely|awkward probably from an Old French form *galc, found in gaulic hand "the left hand" and gauk-handed "left-handed" in Northern English dialects. The French word may have come from Old High German welc "soft, languid, weak" whence German welk "withered, faded, languid." The ambiguity of English "right" is no coincidence; the right-handed majority has historically associated their preferred hand with correctness and righteousness, while presuming something wrong with the left. The Latin word for right, "dexter," is the source of "dexterous," whose synonym, "adroit," comes from the French phrase à droit "to the right." On the other hand (so to speak), not only today's word reflects the left-handed prejudice but also "sinister," which comes from the Latin word for "left." 1 cap 2 bad ; fra. gauchement ; eng. awkward capul kaž(-dast) + L’expression être « gauche » montre bien toute l’idée de maladresse associée à cette habitude.
