Right-hand man

A Right-hand man is a person relied upon heavily by another. The term comes from the importance of the right hand in performing tasks (since many people are right-handed). The predominance of right-handedness may account for attitudes of importance and superiority placed on the right over the left by many cultures.

There is speculation that "right-hand man" also comes from the idea of a king with his advisor sitting on his right side, by his right hand. However, there is little evidence supporting it.
