Make burn (5)
I believe the answer is:
brand
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'make' is the first definition.
(I know that make can be written as brand)
'burn' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for brand that I've seen before include "Trademark - burning piece of wood" , "Mark (by burning)" , "Label" , "Owner's mark on cattle" , "Comedian" .)
