Most people's dominant
Right-hand describes something on or toward the right side: the right-hand lane, the right-hand corner of the page.
A right-hand turn goes rightward.
Your right-hand man (or woman) is your most trusted assistant—the person positioned at your side of honor.
Right-handed people favor their right hand for tasks requiring dexterity.
