Etymology

From Old Galician-Portuguese sẽestro, from Latin sinister, sinistrum (“left”), through a Vulgar Latin root *sinexter, sinextrum, from contamination with dexter (“right”), whence Portuguese destro. Cognate with Spanish siniestro, Old French senestre, old Italian sinestro. Compare also the borrowed doublet sinistro.
