Set fire to editing material (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignited

'set fire to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'editing material' is the wordplay.
'material' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters provide the material for a new word).
'editing' with letters rearranged gives 'IGNITED'.

(Other definitions for ignited that I've seen before include "Lit" , "Set alight" , "Sparked off" , "fired" , "Kindled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
