I believe the answer is:

cradle

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hold gently and protectively</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for cradle that I've seen before include "Baby's cot" , "Bassinet" , "Supporting framework" , "rocker?" , "Hold lovingly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Guardian.
