Ambidextrous - both right! In other words, people that are ambidextrous use both hands equally well - not just the right hand.
Although not in your question, I think it's interesting that the word "sinister" which means "left" in Latin derives from the notion that left-handed people were somewhat peculiar!

"Ambidextral" is not a word. You mean "ambidextrous." This means being able to use either hand for the same purpose, e.g., writing.

If a person is truly ambidestra, he has no lateral dominance and uses both left and right sides equally well.

It's a rather clumsy word for a person who can use both hands with equal ease and grace

the official definition is "Pertaining equally to the right-hand side and the left-hand side."
Basically you use each side of your body equally, most people think about using your hands equally.
