Shrug or wave (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gesture

I believe this is a double definition.

'shrug' is the first definition.
(I know that shrug is a more specific form of gesture)

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

(Other definitions for gesture that I've seen before include "Hand motion" , "Message through movement" , "Expressive motion" , "A physical motion or signal" , "Significant movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
