Alloy component (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metal

'alloy component' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "Tungsten, for example" , "employed in making roads" , "Like steel cutlery" , "Copper or gold, say" , "Lead, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
