What does 'to burn fiercely' mean?
Is it the literary meaning or referring to 'burn' as 'feel anger' or 'make angry' instead? There's no context for it, it's an example for the owrd 'fiercely',
Thank you!

Hi!
Many things can burn fiercely, but the phrase is typically reserved for passionate emotions such as hatred or love, though it can also be used to describe actual fire.
Examples:
"Their love for each other burned fiercely."
"The hatred in his eyes burned fiercely as he looked at his enemies."
"The wildfire is burning fiercely."
As a combined phrase, it is usually used only in literature, but it can be used in spoken English in certain contexts.
Hope this helped!

It's a bit hard to know the meaning without knowing the context.

"fiercly" can also mean powerful and intense; anger need not be present
from google:
in a savagely violent or aggressive manner.
"the army clashed fiercely with militants"
in a powerful and destructive manner.
"the wind was blowing fiercely"
with a heartfelt and powerful intensity.
"campaigners have fiercely opposed the proposals"
