Of or relating to chirology, the study of the hand, including its structure, functions, and movements.
From 'chirology' (study of the hand) plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ical.' The root comes from Greek 'cheir' (hand) and '-logy' (study of), with ancient origins in manual and physical studies.
Chirology connects to palmistry, which claims to read destiny from hands—but the serious scientific version studies how hands reveal human evolution, dexterity, and disability, making hands a surprisingly rich object of scholarly study.
