latin root meaning of ambi
ambi, amphi (both, around) The Latin word ambi means 'on both sides' or 'both ways'. The Greek word amphi means the same thing, so I have grouped these prefixes in today's article. Some words beginning with ambi: ambidextrous (adj) - able to use either hand equally well. I am reminded of the humorous quip, I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!.
