Gently hold a bed (6)
I believe the answer is:
cradle
This clue might be a double definition.
'gently hold' is the first definition.
'cradle' can be an answer for 'hold' (cradling is a kind of holding). I am not certain of the 'gently' bit.
'a bed' is the second definition.
(I know that cradle is a type of bed)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cradle that I've seen before include "rocker?" , "Baby's bed" , "Cot for a small baby" , "One for rocking baby" , "'When the bough breaks, the . . . . . . will fall'" .)
