Burn for some wild caresses (4)
I believe the answer is:
sear
'burn' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sear that I've seen before include "Burn briefly" , "Scorch, brand" , "Dried up, parched" , "Cauterise" , "Scorch or burn the surface of" .)
