Welcome the writer coming back to stay (7)
I believe the answer is:
embrace
'welcome' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'writer coming back to stay' is the wordplay.
'writer' becomes 'me' (the person who wrote the clues).
'coming back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to stay' becomes 'brace' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'me' reversed gives 'em'.
'em'+'brace'='EMBRACE'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for embrace that I've seen before include "affectionate greeting" , "Include (in one's arms)" , "Include - clasp" , "Cuddle" , "bear-hug?" .)
