..you are hereby remanded to remedial Latin class. At the end of your term, you
will recite to the Alfa class, the origin of Sinister as it derives from
sinistra. The French term for left lends derivation to another English word.

Bonus Points: Who can name the 'King' that ordered a regiment made up of 1000
left-handed spear throwers?
