Crossword Genius

A border in silver, generally (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verge

'a border' is the definition.
(verge is a kind of border)

'in silver generally' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'VERGE' is hidden in the letters of 'silver generally'.

(Other definitions for verge that I've seen before include "Grass edging" , "Border - edge" , "Margin or brink" , "Grass edge to road" , "Margin, edge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
