English term or phrase: nurtured
"The Calligrapher slowly rose from his chair and beckoned me to follow him. His bent frame passed easily through the low doorway as we entered the front of the dwelling. He looked behind at me and a ***nurtured*** smile spread across the thin line of his lips. We both stepped outside and under the shadow of the great wall."

afetuoso


Explanation:
Nurture é algo ativo e não passivo. O indivíduo cultiva sentimentos, dá terreno para algo crescer e expandir e, nesse caso, foi o seu sorriso. Como não sabemos o resto do trecho, me parece que ele está a oferecer afeto quando sorri para o narrador.

Example sentence(s):
  • Crianças necessitam de palavras afetuosas para cultivar seu senso de família.
