Graze

TOUCH

Lightly brush against something without pressing hard.

"Graze" here isn’t about cows eating grass—it’s playing on the word’s lesser-known meaning of lightly brushing against something. Think of a bullet "grazing" a target or a hand barely "touching" a surface. The clue uses this double meaning to lead you to "TOUCH," since both words describe a gentle, passing contact. It’s a neat example of how crosswords twist everyday terms to keep solvers on their toes.
