Charades, essentially (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mime

'charades essentially' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mime that I've seen before include "Acting without speaking" , "Copy, ape" , "Acting dumb?" , "Dumb show" , "Silent acting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
