Hugged (8)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

embraced

'hugged' is the definition.
('embrace' can be a synonym of 'hug')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for embraced that I've seen before include "held using arms" , "accepted enthusiastically" , "Hugged" , "is taken up" , "Contained; held closely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
