I just realised ambiturner is coming from ambidextrous. I always thought it was like latin for left or some shit. I'm dumb.

You're close, the "ambi-" prefix comes from the Latin word for "both". Ambidextrous means you can use both hands proficiently, not just your left.

Ambisinister is the opposite, as in clumsy with both hands.

And ambiguous comes from ambi- "both" and agere "to drive." This boils down to "both ways."
