singed
Touched by flame
Singed is the past tense of singe, meaning to burn superficially—scorching the surface without consuming: The candle singed her hair.
Unlike burned, singed implies slight damage, often just enough to leave a mark or smell: His eyebrows were singed from leaning too close to the grill.
