Etymology

Originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement by Gerald Holtom in 1958.[1] Holtom drew himself when he was in a state of despair: with his palms stretched both outwards and downwards.[2][3] The symbol is usually interpreted as a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for "nuclear disarmament".[1]
