Corroded (5)

I think it could be either:

rusty

ateat

'corroded' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

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 Penny Press, The Sun, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune, The New York Times, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
