Hand holding, sometimes (4)

I believe the answer is:

pair

(Other definitions for pair that I've seen before include "Agreement to avoid division" , "Put together - two of a kind" , "Set of two" , "Two of a kind, as in cards" , "Two of a similar type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
