Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: hand n., -ed suffix².

Etymology: < hand n. + -ed suffix². In later use in sense 2 partly after post-classical Latin palmatus palmate adj.With sense 1a compare Old English -hende (in e.g. ān-hende one-handed, īdel-hende idle-handed, spær-hende sparing, strang-hende strong-handed, etc.), ultimately representing an adjectival derivative of the Germanic base of hand n. with suffix causing i-mutation (see hend adj. and n.).

a. Having a hand or hands of a specified kind; esp. in parasynthetic compounds, as empty-handed, firm-handed, left-handed, open-handed, quick-handed, right-handed, etc.Many of the more prominent compounds are treated more fully elsewhere, as main entries or at the first element.
