Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G2095 and G3686; properly, well-named (good-omened), i.e. the left (which was the lucky side among the pagen Greeks); neuter as adverbial, at the left hand:—(on the) left.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
1) of good name and of good omen
1a) in the latter sense used in taking auguries; but those omens were euphemistically called “euonumos” which in fact were regarded as unlucky, i.e. which came from the left, sinister omens, (for which a good name was desired)
2) left, on the left hand
