Worship is embraced by one with benefit (7)
I believe the answer is:
idolise
'worship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is embraced by one with benefit' is the wordplay.
'embraced by' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'benefit' becomes 'dole' (informal term for a state benefits).
'i'+'dole'='idole'
'is' put into 'idole' is 'IDOLISE'.
(Other definitions for idolise that I've seen before include "Worship and adore" , "put on a pedestal" , "Love too much" , "Worship extravagantly" , "Worship to extremes" .)
