Verb.
The act of putting your fingertips together, most likely to indicate thoughtfulness.

So named because this action makes one's hands look vaguely like a steeple.
The following children's hand game shows an example of steepling:
This is the church; this is the steeple; open the doors, and there's all the people.
Steepling by Mysterious C June 22, 2006
A hand gesture where the fingers of one hand touch the other and the palms are pressed inwards arching the fingers.

This was once a gesture of confidence, but now it solely connotes condescension and is only seen in action by the #bellends in Apple's virtual events.
Ugh, I can't watch those Apple events anymore with those cringe-making presenters steepling their hands like the new colour phone needs to be explained to me like I'm six.

Person B: "Don't be a sleeping warrior."

Person A: "So i told the idiot Mt Rainer should tower over Mt St Helen at the height illustrated in that photograph, but he got the height wrong"
