A stroke or movement made by the hand, particularly in drawing, writing, or athletic activities.
Compound of 'hand' and 'stroke' (from Old English 'stracian,' to stroke). The term describes any deliberate movement of the hand in a specific direction.
An artist's handstroke is like a signature—each person draws with slightly different angles, speeds, and pressures, which is why handwriting analysis can sometimes identify forged documents.
