Oxford Dictionary of Politics:right(-wing)
. the right wing 1. the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system. Etymology: with reference to the National Assembly in France (1789-91), where the nobles sat to the president’s right and the commons to the left.
The opposite of left. As with the term left-wing, the label right-wing has many connotations which vary over time and are often only understood within the particular political context. In advanced liberal democracies, perhaps more than anything else the right has been defined in opposition to socialism or social democracy. As a result, the ideologies and philosophies of right-wing political parties have included elements of conservatism, Christian democracy, libertarianism, and nationalism; and for extreme-right parties racism and fascism.

right-wing
Strongly favoring retention of the existing order: conservative, orthodox, right, rightist, Tory, traditionalist,
Use of the term “Right” became more prominent after the second restoration of the French monarchy in 1815 with the Ultra-royalists.[10] Historically it has been primarily used to refer to conservatives, reactionaries, monarchists, aristocrats, and theocrats. Later on the term would be used to describe those who support free market capitalism,[11] and those who support some forms of nationalism, including fascism.
