Womaniser leaves housewarming with squeeze (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hug

'squeeze' is the definition.
(I know that squeeze can be written as hug)

'womaniser leaves housewarming' is the wordplay.
'leaves' suggests deleting specific letters.
'housewarming' with 'womaniser' taken away is 'HUG'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for hug that I've seen before include "Tightly embrace" , "Cuddle" , "A hearty embrace as of bear" , "Bear-like embrace?" , "Embrace closely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
