Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. Using the right hand more easily and readily than the left. See dexterous.
2. Turning so as to pass from above or in front to the right hand; clockwise: thus, an ordinary screw is driven in by a right-handed rotation; specifically, in conchology, dextral, as the spiral shell of a univalve (see cut under purpura). The rotation of the plane of polarization by certain substances showing circular polarization is called right-handed when, to an observer looking in the direction in which the ray is moving, the rotation is clockwise—that is, in the same direction as that of the hands of a clock; if in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise), the rotation is called left-handed. These terms are also applied to the substances themselves which produce these effects: as, a right-handed quartz-crystal.
3. In botany, of twining plants or circumnutating parts, properly, rising or advancing in the direction of a right-handed screw or spiral, or that of the hands of a watch. Certain authors, neglecting the notion of forward growth and conceiving the plant as viewed from above, have used the term in the opposite sense, which is quite unnatural.
4. Laid from left to right, as the strands of a rope.
5. Executed by the right hand.
6. On the right side; of a favorable, convenient, or easily pardoned character.
