Corroded (5)

I think it could be either:

rusty

ateat

'corroded' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rusty that I've seen before include "Oxidised, corroded" , "(Of iron) corroded" , "Stiff with age" , "Antiquated" , "affected by inactivity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Sun and The New York Times.
