ambidexterous

/ˌæmbɪdˈɛkstɚɹəs/ adj

Misspelling of ambidextrous.

Word Origin From Latin ambi 'both' and dexter 'right hand' — literally 'having two right hands.' The idea: being equally skillful with both hands, as if both were the dominant right. Dexter also gives us dexterity (skill) and dextrous. Ambi appears in ambiguous (driving both ways) and ambient (going around).
