@DCDuring: but the noun would be hand --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:57, 25 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
third hand would be a lovely entry. fourth hand, etc. might be attestable. There's nothing special about at. All of them would be used attributively, with at, adverbially, and probably in other collocations. DCDuring (talk) 21:48, 25 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
