It's unwise to embrace a girl, albeit to give utmost pleasure (6)

I believe the answer is:

ravish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'albeit to give utmost pleasure' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'it's unwise to embrace a girl' is the wordplay.
'it's unwise' becomes 'rash'.
'to embrace' is an insertion indicator.
'a girl' becomes 'vi' (short for Violet).
'rash' going around 'vi' is 'RAVISH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ravish that I've seen before include "Transport with delight" , "Seize and carry off" , "Seduce" , "Enchant" , "Hold spellbound" .)
