Encourage, for example, 'good' touching (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
egg on
'encourage' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'example good touching' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg'.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'touching' becomes 'on'.
'eg'+'g'+'on'='EGG ON'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for egg on that I've seen before include "Prod" , "Urge, impel" , "'Incite, urge (3,2)'" , "Encourage (someone to do a risky thing)" , "Encourage to act" .)
