Encompass a wrist or is there an alternative?
Can encompass be used to describe someone "holding" someone's wrist gently, and not actually putting any force/ pressure but just holding or gripping it in a very gentle way?
Solution 1:
I would go with cradle (“to hold gently and protectively”). Otherwise, you could use hold, clasp, enfold or other synonyms, together with an adverb softening their strength (e.g., hold gently).
