embracement
Arms wrapped around
Embracement is a formal or literary noun for the act of embracing—holding someone closely in one's arms as a gesture of affection, welcome, or comfort.
It can also refer to the willing acceptance or adoption of an idea, belief, or practice: The company's embracement of remote work surprised industry observers.
While embrace serves the same noun function more commonly, embracement emphasizes the action or process itself.
