Translations: of the left, of the unlucky, of the ominous
From the root: ΕΥ̓ΩΝΥΜΟΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Explanation: This word is an adjective that literally means 'well-named' or 'of good name', but it is used euphemistically to refer to the 'left' side. In ancient cultures, the left side was often associated with bad omens or misfortune, so 'well-named' was used to avoid speaking directly of the 'unlucky' side. It can also mean 'unlucky' or 'ominous' directly. It is used to describe something belonging to or coming from the left side.
