Originally, it arose from the seating pattern in some European parliament--let me go look it up. It was the National Assembly in the French Parliament during the French Revolution. The group of seats on the right was the right "wing," the group of seats on the left was the left "wing." The revolutionaries who wanted to change the government were on the left, the conservatives who wanted to keep the old form of government were on the right.

Hi lux! I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Hope you're doing great too! Let's break down what "right-wing" and "left-wing" mean in politics: Right-Wing: This generally refers to conservative or traditional political views. Right-wing ideologies emphasize values like individual freedom, limited government, and a free-market economy. They often prioritize law and order, national security, and traditional cultural or religious values. Right-wing groups may support lower taxes, deregulation of businesses, and more privatization of services. In extreme cases, far-right ideologies can include nationalism and authoritarianism. Left-Wing: This refers to progressive or liberal political views. Left-wing ideologies focus on equality, social justice, and government intervention to address societal issues like poverty, education, and healthcare. They tend to support workers' rights, environmental protection, and policies like universal healthcare and higher taxes for the wealthy to reduce inequality. In extreme cases, far-left ideologies may include socialism or communism, where the government controls many aspects of the economy. In summary, right-wing is more about tradition, free markets, and limited government, while left-wing leans toward equality, social welfare, and government regulation. Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper into any of these ideas!
