Burn at the stake (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

martyr

(Other definitions for martyr that I've seen before include "One killed for cause" , "One dying for belief" , "put at stake?" , "One who suffers death rather than renounce their religion" , "One suffering for conscience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
