Chiromancist

/ˌkaɪrəˈmænsɪst/ noun

Definition

A practitioner of chiromancy; someone who reads hands as a form of fortune-telling or divination.

Etymology

From chiromancy + '-ist' (practitioner). This variant form emphasizes the professional or systematic practice of hand-reading divination.

Kelly Says

The '-ist' suffix in chiromancist suggests a more serious, dedicated practitioner than casual 'palm readers'—though modern skeptics argue both are equally pseudoscientific.
