This word bridges the gap between physical movement and social meaning. When used physically, it describes the silent language of the body, often filling the void where words are absent or insufficient. It carries a sense of visual communication that can be intuitive or culturally specific.

Countable when referring to a specific physical movement or a specific symbolic act of kindness.
