A savoir qu'étymologiquement le mot "droit" et "roi" on la même origine. Le roi étant celui qui a une conduite droite.
Roi vient de "rex, regis" (d'où régicide, par exemple, pour la mort d'un des gauchers les plus célèbres !).
Droit peut venir de "rectus, a, um" étymologiquement associé à "rex, regis", qui est dans ce cas le mot signifiant
tout droit (d'où rectitude, rectiligne).
Ce n'est pas le même
droit que "dexter, era, erum",
du côté droit.
Et pourtant je vous garantie que l'origine étymologique est bien la même !!! Cette étymologie n'est pas fantaisiste mais reconnu par les grands spécialistes des langues indo-européennes... mais peut être pensez vous être une grande spécialiste du monde indo-européen ?
Voici l'explication de la racine indo-européenne "Reg-":
