Você já notou que o direito da palavra Inglês’’ pode significar duas coisas? Right is used to describe both a normal or upright position and something as morally good, justified, or acceptable. This is also the case in other languages as well. Da mesma forma, the word ‘left’ can have multiple, usually negative, meanings in some languages.
Surpreendentemente, the use of ‘right’ as the opposite of wrong, as well as the opposite of left, é, in linguistic terms at least, pure coincidence, and the words developed quite separately and from unrelated roots.
