Chirognomically

/ˌkaɪrɑːɡˈnɑːmɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to the interpretation of character or destiny through the study of hands; from a palm-reading perspective.

Etymology

Adverbial form of 'chirognomic' formed by adding -ally, following English patterns for creating adverbs from adjectives.

Kelly Says

The -ally suffix here creates an adverb from an already somewhat archaic adjective—it's the kind of word a Victorian fortune-teller might use: 'chirognomically speaking, your lifeline suggests...'
