Sets ablaze (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignites

'sets ablaze' is the definition.
('ignite' can be a synonym of 'set ablaze')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ignites that I've seen before include "Catches fire" , "lights" , "Sets alight" , "Sets on fire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
