Crossword Genius

Friendship? Girl embraces it (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amity

'friendship?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'girl embraces it' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'amy' ().
'embraces' is an insertion indicator.
'amy' placed around 'it' is 'AMITY'.

(Other definitions for amity that I've seen before include "Accord" , "Friendliness" , "understanding" , "Cordial friendship" , "Friendship - goodwill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
