Crossword Genius

In French clubs, miss will get embrace (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enclose

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

'in french clubs miss' is the wordplay.
'in french' becomes 'en' ('en' can be French for 'in' e.g. en France).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'miss' becomes 'lose' (I've seen this in other clues).
'en'+'c'+'lose'='ENCLOSE'

'will get' is the link.

(Other definitions for enclose that I've seen before include "Surround; place in envelope (with letter)" , "Surround on all sides" , "Surround, envelop" , "Cover" , "Put inside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
