Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'right' (the right-hand side) + 'brain' (the organ) denotes the right cerebral hemisphere, so a learner who knows both words can infer the referent. While broader associations (e.g. creativity or spatial ability) are cultural generalizations, the core anatomical sense is transparent and cross-linguistically recoverable.
Etymology
The term right brain comes from the simple image of the brain split into two parts: the right part often controls the left side of the body and helps with art, music and understanding space. So, when people say someone is 'right-brained' they mean 'creative' or good at 'understanding space'.
