Definition
The art or technique of using hand and arm movements to express meaning, rhythm, or emotion in music, dancing, or public speaking.
Etymology
From Greek 'cheir' (hand) + 'nomos' (law or custom). Emerged as a formal discipline in classical rhetoric and was revived during the Renaissance.
Kelly Says
Ancient Greek orators were judged partly on their chironomy—improper hand gestures could ruin an argument, just as awkward hand movements today can undermine a presentation!
