Origin

Old English riht (adjective and noun), rihtan (verb), rihte (adverb), of Germanic origin; related to Latin rectus 'ruled', from an Indo-European root denoting movement in a straight line.

  • The root meaning of right is not a turn or side but movement in a straight line—the first senses were ‘straight, not curved’ and ‘direct, straight to the destination’ as well as ‘morally good, just’ and ‘true, correct’. Right as in the opposite of left is a later meaning that dates from the 13th century. The political application originated in the French National Assembly of 1789, in which the nobles as a body took the position of honour on the president's right, and the Third Estate—the French bourgeoisie and working class—sat on his left. A person who holds right-wing views of the most extreme kind can be described as being somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan. This expression uses Genghis Khan (1162–1227), the founder of the Mongol Empire, as a supreme example of a repressive and tyrannical ruler. The name of the early 5th-century warlord Attila the Hun, an equally dominant and brutal figure, is sometimes substituted for Genghis. See also dexter, rectangle, sinister
