Char, sear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

singe

This clue is a double definition.

'char' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sear' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for singe that I've seen before include "Burn; ignes (anag.)" , "superficial injury" , "Effect of fire" , "Scorch lightly" , "slight burn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
