Look hurt when you get a shiner (6)
I believe the answer is:
glower
'look' is the definition.
(I know that glower is a more specific form of the action stare)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glower that I've seen before include "firefly?" , "Angry stare" , "Look hotly or angrily" , "burning ember, say?" , "shiner?" .)
