A specialized device or exercise apparatus designed to strengthen and train individual fingers or digits.
From 'digitus' (Latin for finger) + '-orium' (Latin suffix for a place or instrument). A 19th-century term created to name exercise machines for hand and finger development.
Musicians used to practice on a digitorium—a silent finger-exercise device—so they could strengthen their hands without annoying their neighbors, centuries before noise-canceling headphones existed!
