AMBIDEXTROUS:
Ambidexterity is the ability of being equally adept with each hand (or, to a limited degree, feet).
The word
"ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots
ambi, meaning "both," and
dext, meaning "right." Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right on both sides". As an inborn trait ambidexterity is rare, though it can be learned. Most ambidextrous people still gravitate towards performing certain types of tasks with a specific hand.
