Meaning

Primary

Left Handed

Word Type

noun, の adjective

Explanation

If you profit from the left, you're probably doing everything on the left. That's your good side. You're probably left handed.

Reading

ひだりきき

Explanation

The readings are the kun'yomi vocab readings, so combine the readings of the words 左 and 利く together to get the reading of this one. It makes sense since this word is like two words put together.

Context
