Heat of conflict close to Arnhem (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warm

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

'conflict close to arnhem' is the wordplay.
'conflict' becomes 'war' (war is a kind of conflict).
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The last letter of 'arnhem' is 'm'.
'war'+'m'='WARM'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for warm that I've seen before include "Heated; enthusiastic" , "Friendly" , "Passionate; ardent" , "Pleasantly hot" , "easily aroused" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
