glove
Fingers' separate sleeves
A glove is a covering for the hand with separate sheaths for each finger.
Gloves protect against cold, dirt, or injury: winter gloves, surgical gloves, boxing gloves.
To fit like a glove is to fit perfectly.
To handle with kid gloves is to treat delicately.
In baseball, a glove is the leather mitt used to catch the ball.
