hand raise

Personally rear offspring

A hand raise is a signal made by lifting one's hand, typically to indicate a question, volunteer, or bid: We'll count the hand raises to vote.

In online contexts, particularly webinars and virtual meetings, a hand raise is a digital feature allowing participants to signal they want to speak without interrupting: Use the hand raise button if you have a question.

To hand-raise an animal is to nurture it from infancy without its mother, usually through bottle-feeding: The orphaned lamb was hand-raised by the farmer's daughter.
