Burn with hot water (5)
I believe the answer is:
scald
'burn with hot water' 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 "Injure with hot liquid" , "Burn with water" , "Heat (milk) to near boiling point" , "Burn with hot liquid" , "Hurt with hot water" .)
