What word means 'left' and comes from the Latin word 'sinistra'?

There are almost a half dozen English language words that include 'left' in their meaning, and that trace their origins back to the ancient, classical Latin. One example is the adjective 'sinister'. The word is defined as 'evil or suggestive of evil'. But it also has a meaning of 'leftwardness'. For the 'sinister events' on a family's heraldic shield are found on the left side. And the word 'sinister' indeed tracks back to the Old French 'sinistre', and on further to the earlier source in the Latin 'sinister', or 'left-hand'. Likewise, the adjective 'sinistral' indicates the left side is uppermost in flatfish, and whorls go leftward in spiral shells. And it tracks back to the Old French or Medieval Latin 'sinistralis', which means 'of or relating to the left hand'. Additionally, the adjective 'sinistorsal' and the noun 'sinistrorse' find their origins in the Latin 'sinistrorsus', which refers to a 'twining spirally upward to the left'.
