blazing
On fire, brightly
Blazing describes something burning intensely with bright flames: a blazing fire.
Extended uses emphasize extreme heat or brightness: blazing sun, blazing headlights.
Figuratively, blazing conveys intensity of any kind—speed, anger, passion: blazing fast, a blazing argument, blazing talent.
As an intensifier, it's a milder British alternative to "bloody": a blazing idiot.
