In a broad stretch?
Hello everyone.
I'm reading How Do You Live? by Genzaburo Yoshino.
The uncle, taking up a teacup that had been abandoned on his desk,
drank down the now-cold tea in a single swallow, extended his arms in a
broad stretch.
Would you please tell me what in a broad stretch means? Does it mean with all his strength?
I have asked this question from some native speakers and they told me it probably means in a broad gesture but I don't know what in a broad gesture means either.
I really appreciate you for the help ??
