Crossword Genius

At home, hint about diamonds to get embrace (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

include

'embrace' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'at home hint about diamonds' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('in' can be similar in meaning to 'at home').
'hint' becomes 'clue' ('clue' can be a synonym of 'hint'**).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'diamonds' becomes 'd' (abbreviation in bridge say).
'clue' placed around 'd' is 'clude'.
'in'+'clude'='INCLUDE'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for include that I've seen before include "Feature" , "Cover" , "Have within" , "Contain as part of group" , "Contain - embrace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
