Melt what ? (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thaw out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'melt' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'what ?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'what' is 'thaw' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'out' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thaw out that I've seen before include "Become unfrozen" , "Defrost" .)
