Torch

Originally, a torch was a portable source of fire used as a source of light, usually a rod-shaped piece of wood with a rag soaked in pitch[?] or some other flammable material wrapped around one end.

In modern British English, a torch is an electrical[?] flashlight.

In construction usage, a torch is a hot flame, usually fueled by oxygen and acetylene, that is used to either cut or weld metals, particularly iron and steel. For example, blowtorch, cutting torch, or welding torch.
