Hug; an act of embracing someone

Necesito un abrazo después de un día difícil.

Commonly used to express affection, comfort, or greeting.
In many Spanish-speaking countries, hugs are more common than handshakes, even in professional settings.
The word 'abrazo' is masculine, so it should be used with masculine articles and adjectives (e.g., 'un abrazo fuerte').
From the verb 'abrazar' (to hug), derived from the Latin 'ambraciāre' (to embrace).
In Spanish-speaking cultures, hugs are a common form of greeting and farewell, especially among friends and family.
