Dexterity

A little dexterity is helpful in working with knitting needles

Dexterity is a term referring primarily to the ability of a person to “gracefully” coordinate their movements. It specifically refers to adroitness in using the hands. In this context, dexterity is a motor skill. The term can also refer to intelligence and “mental dexterity.”

Dexterity, in the former sense, is a primary attribute of the Dungeons & Dragons fictional characters, and was later adapted to be used as an attribute of characters in many video games, namely role-playing games such as Final Fantasy VII and the Bard's Tale series.

The word's origin is Greek, "dex-" is the root of the word "δεξυς" meaning skillfull and "right", as opposed to left, not correct.

Dexterity is also the title of a bebop song written by Charlie Parker.
