Word after hot or lightning
I believe the answer is:
rod
'word after hot or lightning' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rod that I've seen before include "A few yards" , "Baton, pole" , "Former measure equal to a quarter of a chain" , "See 13" , "Wand - fishing stick" .)
