Emergence definition

A hand covering made of flexible material, typically stitched or shaped to fit the wearer's hand, covering the fingers and palm for protection, support, or specialized function, which requires the physical properties of cloth to create individual finger spaces and the tool-making capabilities to stitch and shape the material, building upon the biological structure of the hand and the concept of cove as a sheltered space.
