GESTICULATION
16
Definition
Pronunciation: //dʒɛˌstɪkjəˈleɪʃən//
noun
- (dated) An odd or fanciful motion."I indulged in this meditation for a moment, and then again addressed the mourner, who stood leaning against the bed with that expression of resigned despair, of complete misery, and a patient sufferance of it, which is far more touching than any of the insane ravings or wild gesticulation of untamed sorrow."
