Involving four people or hands; played by four players at once, as in music or games.
Compound of 'four' and 'handed' (from 'hand'), used in gaming and music contexts since at least the 1800s.
Piano duets written 'fourhanded' (two people at one piano) create a special intimacy—composers like Mozart loved writing them because two pianists could make the one piano sound richly layered!
