Curse-inflicting stare (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
evil eye
'curse-inflicting stare' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for evil eye that I've seen before include "Indian sign?" , "Depraved optic with superstitious curse" , "Optical sort of ancient curse" , "Gaze believed harmful" , "Bad-luck look" .)
