thaw

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'become' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'less cold? what's wrong with that?' is the wordplay.
'what' can be anagrammed to 'THAW'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thaw that I've seen before include "(Of snow) start to melt" , "Morse actor; melt" , "John, once regularly on TV" , "when the temperature rises?" , "Become warmer" .)
