1. 1

    As a verb, to char means to burn something until it turns black on the surface, without completely destroying it — you might char meat a little on a grill, or a fire can char the walls of a room. In older or British English, 'char' can also be a casual word for tea ('a cup of char') or a dated word for a woman who cleans houses ('a charwoman').
