Tribute in accepting silver (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

homage

'tribute' is the definition.
(an homage is respect paid to someone)

'in accepting silver' is the wordplay.
'in' becomes 'home' ('he's in' can mean 'he's home').
'accepting' is an insertion indicator.
'silver' becomes 'ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'home' going around 'ag' is 'HOMAGE'.

(Other definitions for homage that I've seen before include "Publicly-shown respect" , "Public honour and respect" , "Respect - acknowledgement of allegiance" , "Things said as mark of respect" , "Formal expression of loyalty to a ruler - pay it" .)
