Intensify, aggravate (7)

I believe the answer is:

inflame

I believe this is a double definition.

'intensify' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'aggravate' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for inflame that I've seen before include "Make (a situation) worse" , "Intensify, aggravate" , "Provoke to anger" , "Excite passionate feelings" , "Exacerbate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
