(While 'hug' and 'embrace' are close, 'abrazo' often conveys a deeper sense of emotional connection that is not captured by a single English word.)
A physical act of holding someone closely, typically to show affection, comfort, or greeting. While similar to a hug or embrace, 'abrazo' often implies a deeper emotional connection, warmth, and solidarity that goes beyond a mere physical action. It can convey a sense of welcome, support, or a profound expression of love or friendship.
