Ambidexterities

/ˌæm.bɪ.dɛkˈstɛr.ɪ.tiz/ noun

Definition

The plural of ambidexterity; instances or examples of skill or dishonesty involving playing both sides.

Etymology

Plural form of 'ambidexterity,' which adds the suffix '-ity' (quality or state) to 'ambidexter' (both-handed). The plural '-ies' transforms it to describe multiple instances or examples of this double-handed quality.

Kelly Says

Using the plural 'ambidexterities' is incredibly archaic and theatrical—it's the kind of word you'd find in Shakespeare plays to describe a character's many sneaky, two-faced dealings, making it sound more dramatic and historical than modern English ever would.
