embraceability

Warmth inviting closeness

The quality of being easy or appealing to embrace—whether physically huggable or figuratively easy to accept.

The word gained currency from the 1930 Gershwin song "Embraceable You," where it describes someone irresistibly lovable: Her warmth and openness gave her a certain embraceability.

Often used playfully or with romantic overtones.
