senestre

Etymology
From, from , from , from. , a borrowing from Latin.

The expected result of the Middle French, pronounced approximately as /səˈnɛːtrə/, should have been in modern French (which does exist in heraldic jargon). A spelling-pronunciation, with etymologically restored /s/, came to predominate as the word became increasingly archaic, having been driven out of common usage as the word for "left" by in the sixteenth century.
