Dexter

[Aimeht]

Someone told me that "Dexter" means "right" in Latin. Is it true?
Anyway... Why is it a nick that often nerd people gets?

[Bacterium]

It's a nick because of "pointdexter" which means someone who does "study a lot" or how to explain it..

in swedish: plugghäst :D

[Thucydides]

Yes, from Latin which in turn came from the Greek δεξιος (dexios) meaning right hand side/clever/skilful.

A molecule that shows DEXTROrotation is turning or twisting to the right.
I think it could be why dexter choosed it, since he knows a lot in biology.
