Holds carefully (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cradles

'holds carefully' is the definition.
('cradle' can be a synonym of 'hold carefully')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cradles that I've seen before include "Baby beds" , "Cribs" , "Cots" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
