Fondle - maybe embrace (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enfold

'embrace' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fondle maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'fondle' with letters rearranged gives 'ENFOLD'.

(Other definitions for enfold that I've seen before include "Fondle (anag)" , "Surround, envelop" , "Wrap up" , "Embrace, envelop" , "Clasp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
