Word Connections: Left & Right
<p>When the words “left” and “right” are presented as a pair, we immediately think of their meanings as opposites — two opposite directions, or two opposite sides of a person or object. For example, we may think of turning left versus turning right. Or we may think of the left hand versus the right hand. But if we present one word without the other, then the meaning is less clear, because both words have multiple meanings. “Left” can be the past tense or past participle of “leave”, as in “I left my keys in the car” or “Elvis has left the building.” “Right” can have several meanings, the most common being a synonym for “correct”, as in “I am always right.” But another crucial use of the word is to refer to a freedom or entitlement, as in the Bill of Rights or the right to bear arms (not to be confused with the right to bare arms, a freedom that many of us appreciate during summer).</p>
