'ambodexter' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'ambidexter,' where 'ambi-' meant 'both' and 'dexter' meant 'right-handed.'

'ambidexter' transformed into the English word 'ambodexter' and eventually became the modern English word 'ambidextrous' for a person who can use both hands equally well.

Initially, it meant 'a person who uses both hands,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a double-dealer.'
