A person who practices chirognosy; someone who interprets character, personality, or future events by studying and analyzing hands.
From Greek 'cheir' (hand) + 'gnomon' (interpreter) + -ist (one who practices). The term emerged in medieval times when palmistry was considered a legitimate study.
A chirognomist was essentially a medieval 'hand analyst'—their credibility depended on convincingly reading the palm's lines, bumps, and shapes, making them the psychologists and fortune-tellers of their era.
