Burn, in a way (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scald

'burn in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scald that I've seen before include "Burn with water" , "Injure with hot liquid" , "Hurt with hot water" , "Injure with steam" , "Heat (milk) to near boiling point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
