La palabra derecho proviene del término latino "Directum", que significa “lo que está conforme a la regla”.
El derecho se inspira en postulados de justicia y constituye el orden normativo e institucional que regula la conducta humana en sociedad.
La base del derecho son las relaciones sociales, las cuales determinan su contenido y carácter.
El derecho es un conjunto de normas que permiten resolver los conflictos en el seno de una sociedad.

Either ending is correct.
http://spanish.about.com/od/spanishvocabulary/a/derecho.htmAs an adjective, derecho (and derived forms derecha, derechos and derechas) can mean "right" (the opposite of left, as in el lado derecho, the right side), "upright" (as in el palo derecho, the upright pole) and "straight" (as in línea derecha, straight line). Usually the context will make the meaning clear. Except in bad Spanglish, derecho as an adjective does not mean "correct."
As an adverb, the form is derecho. It typically means "straight ahead" or "in a straight line" as in anduvieron derecho, they walked straight ahead.

Derecho es bueno; izquierda es malo
.
Two words that can easily be confused are derecho and derecha. Both words are distant cousins of the English words "right" and "direct," and that is the source of the confusion: Depending on the context and usage, these words can carry meanings such as "right" (the opposite of left), "right" (entitlement), "straight," "upright" and "directly."
These words are easiest to understand as nouns:
"El derecho" is never a term of direction and is used to refer to something that is due a person according to law, moral principle or custom — in other words, a right. When used in the plural, it typically means "rights" such as in the phrase derechos humanos, human rights. It can also refer to a type of "right" that is less abstract. For example, derechos del autor (literally, author's rights) refers to royalties.
versus
"La derecha" refers to something that is on the right (opposite of left) side. It can refer to, for example, the right hand and
"The political right."
The adverbial phrase a la derecha is common and means "to the right" or "on the right."
Allow me to educate you:
In your original post of this subtread that I contested your wrote & in your words not mine:
But now & in your reference words not mine & please read V-E-R-Y, V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y:
Ergo: They are not the same words derecho versus derecha & much less do they have the same meaning as you avowed above in this same subtread.

You can thank me now for educating you.

Are you just "pretending" to be an idiot? a moron can understand this. I used the word as it is properly meant to be used....as an opposite of Left (ie: the right side...read my post). I did not intend to use it as something that is due a person. You are woefully ignorant of either Spanish or English, or both.
because of the widespread nature of the winds in a derecho, the impact is somewhat like that of a landfalling hurricane, and affects a much greater area than most tornadoes.
so a derecha is a lady landfalling hurricane and a derecho is a mister landfalling hurricane?
Nice try though but keep trying with your buffoonery for my personal amusement.
Sweet Baby Jesus I LUV this, it makes my day.

No, Derecho, in the case you cited, is a euphemism, so to speak. A word chosen to name a certain event or phenomenon, Much like EL Nino is used to name a certain weather occurrence.
In Spanish, adjectives can use either the feminine A ending or the masculine O ending depending on the gender of the noun, as in El Lado Derecho (The right side) or La ventana derecha (the right window).
