A metal (6)

I believe the answer is:

copper

'a metal' is the definition.
(I know that copper is a type of metal)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for copper that I've seen before include "old tub" , "Busy" , "Atomic number 29" , "Reddish-brown metallic element" , "One who nicks" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
