Defrosts (5)

I think it could be either:

thaws

melts

'defrosts' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for thaws that I've seen before include "As role of Morse was to become" , "(Of snow) melts" , "friendlier times?" , "Starts to unfreeze" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Universal, the USA Today, The Mirror and the King Feature Syndicate.
