torch

A small portable battery-powered electric lamp.

A burner that mixes air and gas to produce a very hot flame.

Tall-stalked very woolly mullein with densely packed yellow flowers; ancient Greeks and Romans dipped the stalks in tallow for funeral torches.

A light usually carried in the hand; consists of some flammable substance.

Burn maliciously, as by arson.
