Char from Neuss in Germany (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

singe

'char' is the definition.
(I know that singe is a type of char)

'from neuss in germany' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SINGE' can be found hidden inside 'neuss in germany'.

(Other definitions for singe that I've seen before include "Scorch lightly" , "Lightly burn" , "Earnest entreaty" , "Result of burning" , "Burn; ignes (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
