Namaste is a customary greeting when people meet or depart. It is a respectful form of greeting, acknowledging and welcoming a relative, guest or stranger. It is typically spoken but performed wordlessly too.

It is spoken with a slight bow and hands pressed together. This gesture is called Añjali Mudrā or Pranamasana. In Hinduism it means "I bow to the divine in you". This cultural practice of salutation and valediction originated in the Indian subcontinent.
There's another aspect to this. Your palms have a lot of nerve endings. Actually your hands speak more than your tongue and your voice. There's a whole science of mudras in yoga. Just by holding your hand in certain ways, you can make your whole system function in different ways.
