'warmth' is the definition.

'farrow when lying within touch' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'farrow' could be 'mia' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'mia' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ability' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.
