Flourish or wave as a threat (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brandish

This clue is a double definition.

'flourish' is the first definition.
(I know that flourish can be written as brandish)

'wave as a threat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for brandish that I've seen before include "Flourish aggressively" , "Wave like a weapon" , "Exhibit aggressively" , "Display" , "shake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
