<http://www.onelook.com/> is a meta-dictionary that provides hits in a
lot of dictionaries, some of them general-purpose, some of them
jargon, slang, technical, or otherwise specialized.

Merriam-Webster's 10th Ed. Online says

    Etymology: Scottish Gaelic deiseil; akin to Latin dexter right hand
    : CLOCKWISE -- compare WIDDERSHINS
