Definition
A practitioner of chiromancy; another term for a hand-reader or fortune-teller working with palm and hand analysis.
Etymology
From Greek 'cheir' (hand) + '-mantis' (diviner), with the '-is' being a Greek nominative ending. This Latinized form appears in older texts and retains a more classical flavor.
Kelly Says
This Greek-rooted term was favored by educated scholars trying to legitimize hand-reading through classical authority—a common strategy in medieval and Renaissance times.
