Ross

I believe the answer is:

element

'basic constituent part' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for element that I've seen before include "lead, for example" , "Fundamental component" , "part of cooker" , "Constituent part (7)" , "Operative part of an electric kettle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
