Wrong time to embrace a good man (5)
I believe the answer is:
saint
'good man' is the definition.
'wrong time to embrace a' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to embrace' is an insertion indicator.
'sin'+'t'='sint'
'sint' going around 'a' is 'SAINT'.
(Other definitions for saint that I've seen before include "Beatified person" , "Scotland's oldest university" , "Very virtuous person" , "eg Pancras" , "Canonised person" .)
