↑ Korean 오른쪽 connotes, while the east denotes, the direction of sunrise. In addition, it was etymologically made to mean "righteous direction," while the opposite 왼쪽 to mean "wrong direction." Note that English right also means both "righteous" and "right-hand."
↑ Face the north, and the east is to your right.
↑ Korean 왼 is the indispensible attributive form of the adjectival root 외다 which is said to be obsolete. However, the one cannot exist without the other or the root. Anyway, it is wrong to say "‘그르다’의 옛말".
