Hug; contain (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embrace

I believe this is a double definition.

'hug' is the first definition.
(to embrace someone is to hug them)

'contain' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for embrace that I've seen before include "squeeze" , "Hug or accept eagerly" , "Hold tightly in the arms" , "Accept; hold closely" , "Warmly welcome" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
