Burning desire? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arson

'burning desire?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "Crime involving fire" , "Crime of fire-setting (5)" , "Sonar (anag.)" , "matchplay, say?" , "Act of a pyromaniac" .)

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