A dishonest person who plays both sides, or someone who accepts bribes from multiple parties in a dispute; a double-dealer.
From Latin 'ambo' (both) + 'dexter' (right hand, also meaning skillful/favorable). This term emerged in medieval English to describe those who dishonestly served multiple masters.
The word 'ambidexter' is basically Latin shade—instead of meaning someone skilled with both hands, it literally means 'having both right hands,' implying you're doubly untrustworthy.
