Some remembered something glowing (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ember

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

'glowing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'some remembered something' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'EMBER' is hidden within 'remembered something'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ember that I've seen before include "Material in dying fire" , "Remnant of bonfire" , "Glowing remainder of a fire" , "Smouldering piece of dying fire" , "Just a glimmer" .)
