Material from track given name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

linen

'material' is the definition.
(linen is a kind of material)

'track given name' is the wordplay.
'track' becomes 'line' (line is a kind of track**).
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'line'+'n'='LINEN'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for linen that I've seen before include "More than one sheet" , "Flaxen fabric" , "Sheets, cloths, napkins etc" , "Cloth woven flax fibres" , "Sheets, pillowcases etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
