Without gestures; expressed in a way that lacks hand movements or body language.
From gesture plus the suffix -less (without). This is a straightforward English compound formed to describe the absence of gestural communication.
Describing someone as 'gestureless' was actually used by Victorian writers as an insult, implying someone was cold, emotionless, or uncultured. Meanwhile, Botox and cosmetic procedures are creating genuinely gestureless faces—a literal 21st-century version of that old criticism.
