Probably the same people who came up with a way for us to discuss anything that makes sense. If we didn't all use the same method of describing right and left, would any of us ever find our way to anywhere?

It is from the old German word (LUCHT) translated into Middle English as "Weak" Denoting that the left hand was usually weaker than the right.

Left and right is simply a convention that most people understand. It's a name - nothing more, nothing less.

How do we know red is actually red? It is just a name given so that we can all understand what we are talking about!
