宽裕,缓:宽~。~~有余。
舒缓柔美:~约。~姿。~俏。

From a physical dictionary
1. 宽裕: 绰绰有余
2. (姿态)美好

generous/well-off -> maybe this comes from 阔绰?
to grip -> I couldn't find any source for this definition. Maybe it's from the chao1 sense of this character which can mean "to grab"?
-------------------------------

Editor:
1) Possibly the most common 綽-word is 綽號. Perhaps it should get a mention in the definition of 綽, as it does here:

2) > generous/well-off -> maybe this comes from 阔绰?
"generous", in this context (followed by "ample" and "wide"), can be taken to mean "larger than the usual size or amount" (i.e. very similar to "ample") rather than "liberal with money".

"well-off" could have come, for example, from a definition of 綽 such as 寬裕;富裕, given in the following dictionary.

I wouldn't say it's wrong, but I tend to take a minimal approach to defining bound forms.

3) > to grip -> I couldn't find any source for this definition.
Here's a source:

It would seem the "grip; grab" sense is, or has been, pronounced in different ways at different times and places. Kroll's Classical and Medieval dictionary also indicates chuo4 for this sense.
