Greet us perhaps with a wave? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gesture

'a wave?' is the definition.
(waving is a type of gesture)

'greet us perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'greet'+'us'='greetus'
'greetus' is an anagram of 'GESTURE'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for gesture that I've seen before include "Eg, shrug or wave" , "Expressive arm movement" , "Movement to express something" , "Gesticulate, sign" , "wave, perhaps?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
