I personally prefer gesture to grab'n'release. I don't think that there's any ambiguity with musical gestures if we specify the terminology to be "parameter change gesture" or "control change gesture" rather than just "gesture". The word "gesture" I think gives a much better image of what the thing is than "grab" or "capture" or "release" do, which makes it sound like mutex-speak, which it totally is not. It just sounds like very wrong and inaccurate terminology to me.
