right-handed
Majority writing preference
Right-handed describes someone who naturally uses their right hand for tasks like writing, throwing, or eating—the dominant hand for most of the world's population.
It also describes tools or equipment designed for such people: a right-handed guitar, right-handed scissors.
In sports, a right-handed pitcher throws with the right arm.
Figuratively, a right-handed compliment is genuine, contrasting with left-handed (backhanded) ones.
