Gestured

/ˈdʒɛstʃərd/ adjective

Definition

Made a gesture or gestures; expressed through hand movements and body language.

Etymology

Past tense and participle of gesture, from Latin gestus. When used as an adjective, it describes something done or expressed through gestures.

Kelly Says

The phrase 'a gestured greeting' or 'wildly gestured instructions' shows something interesting: we assume gestures are natural, but they're culturally coded. The same hand movement means goodbye in one country, come here in another, and insult in a third.
