Blaze in capital reported (4)
I believe the answer is:
burn
'blaze' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for burn that I've seen before include "Severely overcook" , "Scottish brook" , "Char" , "Cremate" , "Copy (a CD)" .)
