How do sign the word in American Sign Language?

The sign for "word" in American Sign Language (ASL) is made by:

1. Starting with your dominant hand in a "5" handshape. This means your fingers are spread out, but your thumb is tucked against your palm.

2. Bringing your hand down and across your chest in a semi-circular motion. The movement should be smooth and slightly diagonal, going from your dominant shoulder towards your non-dominant shoulder.

Important Note: The sign for "word" is often accompanied by a slight facial expression, such as a raised eyebrow or a slight tilt of the head, to emphasize the meaning.
