Wrap up warmly? (3)
I believe the answer is:
hug
'wrap' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hug that I've seen before include "Embrace (like a bear?)" , "Bear-like embrace?" , "Embrace closely" , "Tight embrace" , "A hearty embrace as of bear" .)
