As a verb, "torch" means to set something on fire deliberately, often to destroy it, as in "arsonists torched the building". It's informal, slang, originating in the US in the 1930s, and carries connotations of illegality or extreme force, but it can also figuratively mean to promote a cause or pass on responsibilities (e.g., "pass the torch").
Common Verb Meanings:
- To set fire to: To deliberately burn something, like a car or house.
- Figurative (pass the torch): To hand over a duty, responsibility, or cause to someone else.
- Figurative (carry a torch): To have unrequited romantic feelings for someone.
Examples:
- "The vandals torched the abandoned car."
- "After the founder retired, she passed the torch to her successor."
- "He's still carrying a torch for his high school sweetheart."
