Show deference or respect (6)

I believe the answer is:

salute

(Other definitions for salute that I've seen before include "Military gesture of respect" , "Kind of welcome" , "Hail with a gesture" , "Bring hand smartly to cap" , "Greet with a sign" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
