Comforting touch (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pat

'comforting touch' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pat that I've seen before include "Portion of butter" , "Hit lightly" , "Slick; dab" , "Touch; name" , "Tap lightly" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
