The term left as a political label originated from seating arrangements in the French National Assembly.

The term left as well as right, as political labels do start with the French Revolution, they had to do with where people sat in the National Assembly, with the supporters of the monarchy sitting on the right and the people who were more opposed to the royals on the left. So seating arrangements in the French National Assembly led to the creation of Jacobins and communism because they tried to make a nine-day week and destroy the family.
