nod
Meaning
To nod is to make a slight, quick movement of the head, typically downward and upward, as a gesture of affirmation, acknowledgment, or agreement; it can also signify understanding or approval in both verbal and non-verbal communication contexts.
💡 While "nod" often conveys affirmative responses, it can also imply passive acceptance, and should not be confused with more emphatic gestures of agreement such as a vigorous shake of the head.
