Choke on good silver (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gag

'choke on' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'good silver' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'g'+'ag'='GAG'

(Other definitions for gag that I've seen before include "Put a muzzle on the joke" , "Prevent free expression" , "Choke; joke" , "A palindromic joke or muzzle" , "Muzzle in palindrome form" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
