A gesture one doesn't care to make (5)
I believe the answer is:
shrug
'a gesture' is the definition.
(I know that shrug is a gesture)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shrug that I've seen before include "Raise (shoulders) slightly" , "woolly" , "indifferent response" , "Show lack of concern" , "Expressive movement of shoulders" .)
