A wave involving people for the accord (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agreement

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the accord' is the definition.
('agreement' can be a synonym of 'accord')

'a wave involving people' is the wordplay.
'wave' becomes 'greet' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'involving' is an insertion indicator.
'people' becomes 'men' (men can refer to humanity as a whole).
'greet' placed around 'men' is 'greement'.
'a'+'greement'='AGREEMENT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agreement that I've seen before include "Compact, accord" , "Harmony or treaty" , "deal" , "legal contract maybe" , "Contract or promise" .)
