Fondle (6)

I believe the answer is:

caress

'fondle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for caress that I've seen before include "Stroke lovingly" , "Expression of affection" , "Stroke fondly" , "pet[s]" , "Stroke gently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Sun and The Independent.
