palms
Tropical trees; grips
Palms are the inner surfaces of the hands, from wrist to fingers.
To palm something is to conceal it in the hand: The magician palmed the coin.
To palm off is to dispose of something deceptively: He tried to palm off the forgery as genuine.
Palm also refers to tropical trees with fan-shaped or feathery leaves, or a branch carried as a symbol of victory.
To win the palm is to triumph.
