Answer:

French, literally left.

Explanation:

The etymology of the word, Gauche is French literally left. Etymology refers to a sequential breakdown of the origin and continued use/meaning of a word in different languages. The word <em>Gauche</em> which means Tactless or lacing social grace is originally derived from the French word, <em>Gauchir, </em>which means warp or distort. This is a merging of two words from the Old French, <em>Gauchier. </em>

The word is a replacement of the original word for left, which is<em> Senestre. </em>So it can also be used as an adjective to refer to the left-hand side of something.
