Saluted (7)
I believe the answer is:
greeted
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">saluted</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for greeted that I've seen before include "Acknowledged" , "Said hello" , "Saluted, hailed" , "Welcomed warmly" .)
