Brown quickly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sear

'brown quickly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sear that I've seen before include "Scorch, brand" , "Dried-up, parched" , "Cauterise" , "Cauterize" , "Cook (quickly at great heat)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the LA Times and the Universal.
