wrist
Bracelet goes here
The wrist is the joint connecting the hand to the forearm, allowing the hand to bend and rotate.
It also refers to the area of the arm just above this joint: She wore a bracelet on her wrist.
A wrist shot in hockey or lacrosse uses a flicking motion of the wrist rather than a full swing.
