Grasp and embrace (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
take in
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'grasp' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'embrace' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for take in that I've seen before include "Enclose; deceive" , "contract" , "Shelter - hoodwink" , "Register (information)" , "Provide with shelter, or delude" .)
