Definition
The wrist is the joint that connects your hand to your arm. It lets your hand bend, twist, and move in many directions.
Etymology
“Wrist” comes from Old English “wrist,” related to a root meaning “to twist.” The name reflects how this joint allows twisting and turning movements.
Kelly Says
Your wrist is literally your ‘twist’ joint—its name remembers what it does best. Every time you turn a doorknob or twist a jar open, you’re acting out the original meaning of the word.
