Word: single-handedness Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From single-handed + -ness. 1. The quality of having a dominant hand; left-handedness or right-handedness. Labels: uncountable Example: Recent experiments and observations, however, prove that single-handedness is merely the result of faulty or restricted education. Careful observations have shown that out of every hundred persons born into this world eighty are congenitally ambidextrous — that is to say, they will instinctively reach for an object with either hand Example: But as we rise in the evolutionary scale of normal creatures, and as we exclude disease, ambidexterity progressively gives way to single-handedness, generally right-handedness. 2. Chirality Labels: uncountable Example: In the complexes, the direction and affinity of the hydroxy group for hydrogen bond toward the carboxy group of poly-12 may be the most important factor to control both the helical sense and an extent of the single-handedness, and therefore, the complexes with amino alcohols showed an intense ICD independent of the bulkiness of the substituent (R) with the same Cotton effect signs as the primary amines. Example: So not only does the hand of the amino acids dictate the hand of the helix they form, but more profoundly, single-handedness appears to be necessary for helices to form at all. 3. Lack of assistance. Labels: uncountable Example: The process practices autarchy, exclusivism or single-handedness instead of a radical universalism, based on democracy and equality that can be achieved through a united struggle. Example: In the UK, much of the progress in general practice over the recent past has evolved in the context of group practice and the primary health care team — the credo of modern-day doctoring. Single-handedness puts a question mark over the primacy and validity of these ideas. 4. The quality of having or involving the use of only one hand. Labels: uncountable Example: Maurice Ravel wrote a Concerto pour piano en sol majeur for both a left hand and a right hand, whereas the Concerto pour la main gauche marks itself as different in its declaration of single-handedness. Example: Although an extended period of visual contemplation may lead a viewer to notice the pianist's single-handedness, the scene encourages admiration for the achievement of technical skill against what are imagined as great odds.
