Mixture of lust and rage expressed in body movements (8)

I believe the answer is:

gestural

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'expressed in body movements' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs sometimes define each other.

'mixture of lust and rage' is the wordplay.
'mixture of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lust' after 'rage' is 'ragelust'.
'ragelust' anagrammed gives 'GESTURAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gestural that I've seen before include "With waving arms" , "Pertaining to meaningful movements" , "Conveyed by hand movements" , "of signals" .)
