Roasting stick (4)
I believe the answer is:
spit
'roasting stick' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for spit that I've seen before include "turning means of 8 [COOKING]" , "Expectorate on the tongue of sand" , "Put on skewer" , "Narrow peninsula" , "Sand bar" .)
