Wrist is the joint connecting the forearm to the hand, enabling bending and twisting motions. It’s a compact, highly flexible structure formed by several small bones (carpals) and multiple ligaments. In everyday use, “wrist” often stands out in phrases about injuries, activities, or body awareness, and its pronunciation is a common point of focus for non-native speakers due to its unique consonant cluster and vowel reduction in connected speech.
