Change the nature of a substance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transmute

(Other definitions for transmute that I've seen before include "Alter" , "Change the nature of (something)" , "published obscenity in unfinished number" , "Change eg into gold" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
