ambidextrously

/ˌæmbəˈdɛkstɹəsli/ adv

In an ambidextrous manner.

Word Origin From Latin ambi- 'both' and dexter 'right-handed' — ambidextrous means 'having two right hands,' equally skillful with both. Ambidextrously is the adverb. The root dexter gives us dexterity (skill) and dexterous. The ambi- prefix also appears in ambiguous (both ways) and ambient (going around). So ambidextrously is literally 'in a both-right-handed manner.'
