A gesture or the act of gesturing; sometimes used in technical or artistic contexts to describe expressive body movement.
From Latin gestura, the feminine form of gestus (gesture), used in Romance languages and adopted into English for specific artistic or anatomical contexts.
Gestura appears in dance and performance art terminology, where it refers to the overall 'gestural vocabulary' of a performer—their signature movements. It's become more common in contemporary dance studies, which often use Romance language terminology.
