Element of medal (4)
I believe the answer is:
gold
This might be a double definition.
'element' is the first definition.
(I know that gold is a type of noble metal)
'medal' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gold that I've seen before include "Valuable metal" , "Thin sheet of precious metal" , "Au - metal" , "gift from a king" , "bull's-eye" .)
