Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or perhaps (ii) a borrowing from Latin, combined with a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin pila, dextra, Greek δεξιά.

Etymology: < classical Latin pila ball (see pill n.³) + either dex- (in classical Latin dextra right hand: see dextral adj.), or perhaps δεξ- (in ancient Greek δεξιά right hand, use as noun of feminine of δεξιός on or to the right: see dexiocardia n.).
