In English, “right” refers to the relative direction, but also means to be correct. In Spanish, “derecho” is describing the right side, but can also mean “upright” or “honest”. Do any other languages share this similar link where the “right” direction is a word that also means “upright”?

Sorry for lack of better wording in my question. Just find this link very interesting, as if maybe it comes down to some ancient rooting tied to a certain spiritual belief ex. right hand of god.
