Neglect furnace temperature (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forget

'neglect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'furnace temperature' is the wordplay.
'furnace' becomes 'forge' (forge is a kind of furnace).
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'forge'+'t'='FORGET'

(Other definitions for forget that I've seen before include "Dismiss from the mind" , "Be unable to remember" , "Slip one's mind" , "Stop remembering" , "Stop thinking about" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
