the opposite of right indeed is left, but nobody can have 2 opposite hands

(as there is no opposite for hand -> examples of opposites are dark/light, wet/dry, liveband/KISS).

could live with describing left/right hands as sort of mirrored versions of eachother, though.

You know... to be inclusive.

If you're not allowed to say all of that, then what's left? ?

So it would have been considered gauche to use the word left, right?

Sinister was another.  I think it has a root in left in some other language. 

Quite correct. From Latin, through old French. So unsurprisingly, the prejudice against "left" is the same in French, from which words like gauche are borrowed and used  as a derogative epithet. Fascinating stuff for language nerds.

On a different level, there's also the so-called Left-hand path, associated with black magic and Satanism.
