Burn without flame (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smoulder

'burn without flame' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for smoulder that I've seen before include "Fume" , "Burn and smoke without flame" , "Burn without flames" , "fester" , "Burn slowly, secretly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
