The word sinister, suggestive of darkness or evil, comes from a Latin word meaning “on the left side.” The association of “left” with “evil” is likely because of the dominance of right-handed people within a population.

This usage actually dates back to the 14th century.

I mean, I am left handed and I listen to demonic Witch House music often and I'm a godless heathen so maybe they were on to something there.

I can highly recommend my boy Skaen. He deserves so much more attention and appreciation for his music.
