How to Sign "From" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "from" is signed by extending your dominant hand's index finger, starting near your body with the palm facing sideways, then moving the finger outward away from your body. The movement shows where something begins. The sign is often combined with other signs to create more specific meanings, like "from where" or "from home," which helps signers express different ideas clearly. Moving away from your body makes sense for this sign.
