Right is a direction, the opposite of left. Most people are right-handed. Right is also correct: the opposite of wrong.
Many times this word has something to do with what is good, proper, or correct, like the right thing to do. You can get the right answer to a question. You can be morally correct or "in the right." You can right a wrong by making up for an injustice. People have rights: in this country, we are guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The first 10 Amendments to our Constitution are called the "Bill of Rights."
WORD FAMILY
right: righted, righter, rightest, rightful, righting, rightish, rightism, rightly, rightmost, rightness, rights+/rightful: rightfully, rightfulness/rightism: rightist/rightist: rightists/rightness: rightnesses
