palmistry
Palmistry, or chiromancy (also spelled cheiromancy; from Greek ''kheir'' (χεῖρ, ός; “hand”) and ''manteia'' (μαντεία, ας; “divination”)), is the claim of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palm reading or chirology. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations. Those who practice chiromancy are generally called ''palmists'', ''palm readers'', ''hand readers'', ''hand analysts'', or ''chirologists''.
There are many ― often conflicting ― interpretations of various lines and palmar features across various schools of palmistry. These contradictions between different interpretations, as well as the lack of empirical support for palmistry's predictions, contribute to palmistry's perception as a pseudoscience among academics.
