Claim Cu transmuted into another metal (7)
I believe the answer is:
calcium
'another metal' is the definition.
'calcium' can be an answer for 'metal' (calcium is a kind of metal). I am not sure about the 'another' bit.
'claim cu transmuted' is the wordplay.
'transmuted' indicates an anagram.
'claim'+'cu'='claimcu'
'claimcu' anagrammed gives 'CALCIUM'.
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calcium that I've seen before include "metal" , "Essential constituent of bones and teeth" , "Element in chalk, milk" , "Bone constituent" , "Metallic element present in limestone" .)
