Forms: 1800s– left-footer, 1900s– left-fitter (Scottish in sense 3).

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: left adj.¹, foot n., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < left adj.¹ + foot n. + -er suffix¹, after left-footed adj. at left adj.¹, n., and adv. Compounds 2a(a). Compare right-footer n. Compare also left-hander n. 2.In sense 3 arising as a term for a person of a different religious persuasion from that of the speaker, with allusion to the associations of insincerity, erroneousness, and inferiority surrounding left adj.¹ (compare discussion at that entry), and apparently originating in Irish English in extended euphemistic expressions involving digging. Compare e.g.:1880 W. H. Patterson Gloss. Words Antrim & Down Dig..(2) ‘To dig with the wrong foot,’ is a way of saying that the person referred to belongs to a religious persuasion different from that of the speaker.1939 D. Hurley Herself 28 So I gave him a firm nod, and I gave another nod to Silas McPartland, whose father was Irish—even if he did dig with the left foot.

1. A person who uses the left foot more naturally than the right; a person (esp. a sportsperson) whose left foot is naturally stronger or more dexterous than the right. Cf. right-footer n. 1.In quot. 1864 with reference to an episode in Voltaire's Zadig (1747), in which the protagonist, Zadig, reconciles two religious sects divided by the question of which foot to use first when stepping into the Temple of Mithras.
