The term 'BIG, TIGHT EMBRACES' can be solved by the 6-letter word 'BEAROS'. This is a portmanteau of the words 'BEAR' and 'HUG', which are both associated with the idea of a big, tight embrace. A BEAR HUG is a type of HUG where two people wrap their arms around each other in a tight embrace, while a BEAR is an animal known for its strength and size. Both of these things can be associated with the idea of a big, tight embrace.
