SINGE Meaning and Definition

  1. The verb "singe" refers to the act of burning or scorching superficially. It involves briefly exposing something, such as hair, fur, or fabric, to a flame or heat source in order to cause minor burning or charring without completely setting it on fire. Singeing is typically done to quickly remove unwanted debris, such as loose fibers, hair, or feathers, from the surface of an object.

    When singeing is applied to hair, it can involve running a flame along the edges of the hair strands, resulting in the removal of split ends or frayed edges. Similarly, singeing is commonly used in fur processing to eliminate excess fur or to create a uniform appearance by removing any protruding hairs. In the realm of textiles, singeing is employed to burn off loose fibers on the surface of fabric, enhancing its smoothness and appearance.

    Singeing is generally considered a controlled process, as it requires precise timing and caution to prevent further damage or ignition. It is commonly performed using handheld tools, such as a small flame, a torch, or heated metal plates. The purpose of singeing is to achieve a desired aesthetic or functional outcome without significant alteration or destruction of the material being singed.

  2. • A burning of the surface; a slight burn.
    • To burn slightly or superficially; to scorch, as hair from the surface.
