Way a man embraces a queen (6)
I believe the answer is:
manner
'way' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a man embraces a queen' is the wordplay.
'a man' becomes 'mr' (Mr is an example).
'embraces' indicates putting letters inside.
'a queen' becomes 'anne' (I've seen this before).
'mr' placed around 'anne' is 'MANNER'.
(Other definitions for manner that I've seen before include "Way of acting or behaving" , "Fashion, style" , "How something is said or done" , "Mode" , "Demeanour" .)
