Born absolutely to embrace female creature (9)
I believe the answer is:
butterfly
'creature' is the definition.
(butterfly is a kind of creature)
'born absolutely to embrace female' is the wordplay.
'born' becomes 'b'.
'absolutely' becomes 'utterly' (synonyms).
'to embrace' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'utterly' enclosing 'f' is 'utterfly'.
'b'+'utterfly'='BUTTERFLY'
(Other definitions for butterfly that I've seen before include "Idea that a small change can have major consequences elsewhere" , "Swimming stroke - sort of net, kiss or screw" , "Insect; flighty person" , "Winged insect and swimming stroke" , "Insect with four coloured wings and feelers" .)
