Welcomes (6)
I believe the answer is:
greets
'welcomes' is the definition.
(welcome can mean to greet a new arrival)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for greets that I've seen before include "Addresses person on meeting or arrival" , "Receives" , "Salutes, says hello" .)
I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The New York Times.
