Why this word is great
SCAEVITY — [Noun] The state or quality of being unlucky or left-handed. From the Latin scaevitas, from scaevus ("left, awkward, unlucky"). Unlike sinistrality, which neutrally denotes left-handedness, or misfortune, a general term for ill luck, scaevity is the archaic fusion of a physical trait and a cosmic condemnation. It is the dropped dish from the wrong hand, the ink-stained side of the palm from smudging fresh words, and the quiet, lifelong suspicion that the world was built for others—a somatic hex written in the very bones.
