Explanation: This word is the genitive plural form of the adjective 'ευωνυμος' (euonymos). It literally means 'of good name' or 'well-named,' but in ancient Greek, it was used euphemistically to refer to the left side, as the left was often associated with bad omens or ill luck. Therefore, it commonly translates to 'of the left' or 'of the left hand'. It can also carry the meaning of 'of the ill-omened' or 'of the unlucky'.
