Chironomia is a term that refers to the art of gesture and the use of hand movements in communication, particularly in relation to public speaking and oratory. The word is derived from the Greek roots "chiro-" meaning hand and "-nomia" meaning law or management. Chironomia is often studied in the context of rhetoric, where gestures can enhance the delivery of a speech, emphasize key points, and engage the audience more effectively.
