Clarity of a Movement
He puts his hand around the side of the chair, resting it on the back.
Is it clear from that that the person is sliding his hand across the side of the chair to the back of it, where he then rests his hand—a movement which probably takes a mere second?
Thanks.

Okay. So what's the imagery that it causes as is, without the verb "slide"? What is his hand doing with the chair in your mind? Moving around the side without any contact with it?
