Fist

/fɪst/ noun

Definition

A hand with the fingers bent into the palm, often formed as a sign of strength or anger.

Etymology

From Old English 'fyst,' Germanic root related to Old High German 'faust.' The word originally just meant closed hand, evolved to symbolize power.

Kelly Says

A closed fist is one of humanity's oldest symbols of resistance and unity—from Roman gladiators to civil rights movements, the fist crosses all cultures and centuries!
