Nod (gesture)

Up and down movement of the head

A nod of the head is a gesture in which a person tilts the head once or more in alternating up and down arcs along the sagittal plane. In many cultures, it is most commonly, but not universally, used to indicate agreement or as a greeting. English-speakers may use "beck" as a synonym of "nod".
