A metal splinter I picked up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silver

'a metal' is the definition.
(silver is a kind of metal)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for silver that I've seen before include "Medal for the runner-up" , "Movies" , "Precious stuff" , "See 1" , "See 20" .)
