There is no root word dext; the root is the Latin word dexter, meaning right-handed.

English words containing this root include: dexterity, dextrous, ambidexterity and ambidextrous, as well as the names Dexter and Poindexter.

Note that the ancient Romans associated right-handedness with both skillfulness and sincerity; as a result its opposite, sinister (left-handed) came to be associated with deceit and treachery.
