left-hander
UK: ˌleft ˈhændə | US: ˌleft ˈhændər
n. a person who uses their left hand more skillfully or preferentially than their right; a left-handed individual.
The word "left-hander" is a compound formed by combining "left" (from Old English lyft, meaning "weak" or "opposite of right"), "hand" (from Old English hand), and the agentive suffix "-er" (indicating a person associated with the trait). Historically, left-handedness was often stigmatized, reflected in the negative connotations of "left" in many languages. The term evolved neutrally to describe handedness without judgment.
