Get to embrace again when you receive and welcome (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

greet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'welcome' is the definition.
(to greet someone is to welcome them)

'get to embrace again' is the wordplay.
'to embrace' is an insertion indicator.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'get' placed around 're' is 'GREET'.

'when you receive and' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for greet that I've seen before include "Welcome (someone)" , "Receive (someone)" , "Receive - salute" , "Egret (anag.)" , "Meet and salute" .)
