iN All's Well That Ends Well - Act 2, scene 1, Shakespeare writes:

Parolles. Noble heroes, my sword and yours are kin. Goodsparks and lustrous, a word, good metals: you shallfind in the regiment of the Spinii one CaptainSpurio, with his cicatrice, an emblem of war, hereon his sinister cheek; it was this very swordentrenched it: say to him, I live; and observe hisreports for me.

What do you mean shakespeare?

The word sinister is suggestive of darkness or evil. The association of “left” with “evil” is likely because of the dominance of right-handed people within a population.
We think of sinister as an adjective to describe what is frightfully suggestive of darkness or evil.
But Shakespeare uses it also to mean the Latin word meaning “on the left side."
