Burnt superficially (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

singed

'burnt superficially' is the definition.
('singe' can be a synonym of 'burn superficially')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for singed that I've seen before include "Burned superficially" , "Burned slightly at the edges" , "Scorched" , "Slightly burned on the surface" , "Burned by design" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
