Leslie Odom Jr.'s "Hamilton” role (4)

I believe the answer is:

burr

(Other definitions for burr that I've seen before include "Whirring sound or plant seed-case that sticks" , "Rough edge after cutting" , "Rough edge left on metal by tool" , "(Sound made by) drill or dialect" , "Whirring sound; form rough edge on (metal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
